Copy boot drive to new Disk
Shutdown as many services as you can, on the running system
I am using /dev/sdk for the device of the new disk, in these examples.
Mount the new disk to /newboot
cp -axv / /newboot
cp -av /dev /newboot
edit the /newboot/etc/fstab with the new uuid of the new boot disk
Copy the MBR from the old drive to the new.
if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdk1 bs=512 count=1
Install grub on the drive
grub-install --root-directory=/newboot /dev/sdk
Check the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file and make sure the UUID of the new partition is correct. If it is not replace it with the UUID of the new boot disk.
