        Though it may not be the best way to do it, I'm personally a fan of
something like this:

        1. create the partition(s) on the new drive
        2. mount it somewhere (/mnt/temp)
        3. (cd /old/drive/mount/point && tar cvf - .) | (cd /mnt/temp && tar
xvf -)
        4. unmount the old drive
        5. mount the new drive where the old one was.

HTH, Matt
