Create the partitions on the new drive as you like using fdisk. Format the partitions with mkfs.$filesystemtype. Then switch to runlevel 1 to ensure your system is running minimal, mount the new partition and start copying the data from the small drive's partitions to the freshly created: tar cplf - --atime-preserve --same-owner --exclude=/proc/* /) | (tar xplf - --atime-preserve --same-owner -C /mnt/newdrive) Above command will copy all content below / (main root) without the content below /proc/ to the new drive partition mounted under /mnt. Of course this is a very simple example. If you have a separate /boot partition, you would have to mount and copy that separately. This short description does not reflect the case you want to change the partitioning.
