In this case, 'dd' would be inappropriate. For 'dd' to work as a
backup, the disk geometry of the source and destination must be the
same.

I suggest using partimage[1]. Also, take a look at QtParted[2], since
you'll probably want to expand your existing partitions once you get
them on your new disk.
