Welcome to the list Curt.

Install the new drive on the system, boot from a liveCD, ensure both
drives are not mounted & use gparted copy. That will copy the data from
the old drive to the new drive bit-for-bit. You can then test by
disconnecting the old drive & booting with the new drive.

Alternate method is to use dd:
