IMHO, the best choice for these kind of tasks is using bare metal recovery with tools like Mondorescue: http://www.mondorescue.org/ You can create with it a liveCD (or a USB bootable image) of the operating system filesystems, install the OS in this manner, then recover the user data (i.e. /home) using tools like rsync (even tar!) with the appropiate options. -- Francisco J.
