I realise it's not much help to you right now, but it might be a good
idea to put LVM on the new drive so its easier to do this in future.
Under LVM, you can install a new drive, migrate / to it, and remove
the old drive in about four commands, and all without ever taking the
system down (assuming you can hotswap hdds). Very neat stuff.
