What about doing all with dd ... If you have the second disk installed in the same machine you can do "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb" ort you can use clonezilla is a live cd .
dd only works IFF (!) the new drive is exactly the same size as the old drive. Otherwise dd can be very bad. This is a serious misuse of dd!
You can resize the target partition after the dd but it's a lot of extra work.
