TLDP's "Hard disk upgrade howto" is embarrassingly > antiquated: when's the last time you saw LILO? When I wrote that How-To, I wanted to copy Linux from a 120 Mb hard disk to a 250 Mb hard disk. I've thought about updating the How-To, but I assumed that modern hard disks are so large that people no longer needed to copy Linux just because they ran out of disk space. Even back then, the How-To wasn't intended for someone who wanted to make several copies. As others have suggested, Clonezilla seems appropriate for your situation: http://clonezilla.org/ I still use LILO to boot from thumb drives, by the way.
