I used "cp -arx / /mnt/new" after making a partition on the new disk, making a file system on the partition, labeling it( I called it "main" because there are too many "roots" and "/" 's around), and mounting it on /mnt/new. After the copy, I had to fiddle with grub.conf to make a new stanza to start the new system and with fstab on the new system to mount the proper partition and /boot. I then did a "yum upgrade" Mine is a somewhat confused system that you may not want. I have the base grub in the MBR of sda, a /boot partition on the sda, My main system on sdb with the sda /boot partition mounted and with a swap on sdb and a leftover fc6 syatem on LogVol00 on sda. There is also an XP system and a Win98 system and they all boot. This may give you some things to think about. my system is an example of a favorite old saying of mine "If you don't know where you are going you may arrive somewhere else"
