--Partition the new drive as desired (presumably similar to the existing
partition scheme) and use mke2fs to create the appropriate filesystems.
Also, see 'man mkswap' to set up the swap partition on the new drive.

--mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hddc1
cd /dev/hda1
cp * /dev/hdc1
umount /mnt/hdc1
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2
mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt/hdc2
cd /dev/hda2
cp * /dev/hdc2
