Install the new drive, partition it, install the file system. Then rsync the entire contents from the old drive to the new one. Remove old drive. Plug new drive in where old one was. Should be OK.

Tools provided by most hard drive manufactures allow this for ugh-Windows, but I don't know of any for SUSE Linux. During upgrades I always do a fresh install, so moving to a different drive is easy then, although time consuming.
