Is the issue simply that you need SOMETHING to boot for the duration
of the copy?
If so, there are many ways to do this without the necessity of booting
up your own installation.
If you've got the RH install CDs, you should be able to boot up the
disc #1, and at the very first text mode prompt enter "linux rescue"
(without the quotes) and it will give you a way to mount and access
your partitions.
Another tool I've used many times is TomsRTBT, a single floppy Linux
system that crams an amazing amount of useful stuff on a single 3.5"
diskette.
