I still have Gutsy Gibbon running on one machine and have never had a

Welcome to the list Curt.

Install the new drive on the system, boot from a liveCD, ensure both
drives are not mounted& use gparted copy. That will copy the data from
the old drive to the new drive bit-for-bit. You can then test by
disconnecting the old drive& booting with the new drive.

Alternate method is to use dd:

[dd + gparted + UUID]


Thanks NoOp, for the welcome and for the links - especially the one on changing the uuid.
I'm about ready to give gparted a try.
