i'd use clonezilla which will walk you through a bunch of questions and
then make it happen, or i'd use gparted on the systemrescuecd to copy
the partition from the small drive to the bigger one.

if you use gparted you can resize the partition on the new drive at the
same time, save a step and probably some time to boot.
