is there any way like ghost ( like in M$ environment ) for Linux or may

Sure, you can just partition your new disk and then copy over the data
from the old partitions by using dd.
The only fiddly part is installing the boot loader. To do that I'd
install a minimal system on the new disk, make sure it boots and then
copy over everything from the old disk except the /boot partition.
You'll have to partition the new disk by hand, though.
