I've actually had to move a ntfs file system from one drive to another once. What I did is backup the old partition with partimage, partitioned the new drive with cfdisk to have the first partition take up all the space, restored the backup I made with partimage on to the new drive, and resized the file system to fully fit the new partition using a ntfs resize program that comes with the ntfsprogs package.
