I've done that quite often, and it's no problem.
1. Boot from an external medium, e.g.
www.sysresccd.org
2. Mount both disks
3. Use "rsync -avxHSAX /source/ /target" to copy the partitions
4. Install grub2 on the new disk:
- mount /dev/sdaX /mnt
- grub2-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
- grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2./grub.cfg
Reboot, and you're done.
Don't you have to correct UUIDs in /etc/fstab on the new disk?
