Boot up the latest version of SytemRescueCD/USB with both drives attached.
Use fdisk -l to determine where the drives are located on the /dev tree.
(example; determine which drive is /dev/sda and which is /dev/sdb)
Partition the new SSD drive with fdisk, run mke2fs to create/
format ext4 filesystem on the partition, then run tune2fs -U <UUID-OF-HDD> 
on the partition/filesystem on the SSD to set the UUID to exactly what you
have on the HDD. Mount both drive partitions/filesystems 
and use rsync to copy the filesystem from the HDD partition/filesystem 
to the SSD partition/filesystem. 
After rsync has completed copying the filesytem, 
chroot into the filesystem on the SSD and run 
the grub-install from the chrooted environment.
Just a basic instruction as I do not have time at the moment to go
into every detail as I am extremely burnt from a long day of work
but could go into detailed instructions on how to do so later if you
wish.
