I've had some success with booting to the existing drive and mounting the
new one and using "cp -a" to copy everything from old to new.  Note that you
will need a means of installing LILO on the new drive after this is done.
IIRC, I did this with a boot floppy last time.

Subject: Moving to a larger hard drive

I have 2 hard drives one for windoz and one for LINUX.  The Linux drive
is nearly full (1.5gb) so I want to replace it with a larger (10 gb).
I want to make a small (1 gb) partition for Dos and the remainder for
Linux.  I want to transfer Linux from the old 1.5 gb drive to the new 10
gb drive.  I have seen in the past some discussion here about this.
Would someone please either tell me about how to do this or direct me to
some documents/books on how to do it.
Thanks
Michael
