I don't know if this is what you are going to try, but if you change the 
of the partition on the src drive to something small enough to fit on 
the new drive, you can use clonezilla to clone the partition instead of 
the whole drive. Just make the partition on the new drive the same size 
or a bit larger.

Just to be safe, I would copy off all the data files from the old drive 
that you can to a backup somewhere. You should be able to do the with a 
gparted CD.
