I use plain and simple dd from a livecd for this purpose.. Make sure you get the devices correct though! After dd has finished, you can use gparted to grow you partitions (or system-config-lvm in case of lvm). Alternatively, if you want to rearrange your partitions, you could create a partition table seperately, and then copy individual partiations over using dd. For that to work however, I suspect you need to make sure you only have a partition table, rather then complete filesystems. Good luck!
