- Connect your new HDD to your laptop (e.g. as an external drive).
- Get the new HDD partitioned and formatted
- "rsync -avxHSAX /old/partition/ /new/partition" will do a proper copy
of your existing data
- Look into /etc/fstab and change the new partitions UUIDs to the same
(old) UUIDs used in fstab ("man tune2fs")
- Change the HDDs
- Install GRUB ("man grub-install")
I have done this quite often, it works.
