You information regarding /boot is unclear. I will assume /boot and root 
are on the same file system in the same partition of the 80 GB IDE.

I would:

1.  Backup everything on the source and destination drives.

2.  Move everything off the destination drive.

3.  Run the factory diagnostics on the destination drive to verify it is 
good.

4.  Wipe the destination drive.

5.  dd the contents of the source drive from sector 0 through the last 
sector of the partition containing root to the destination drive.

6.  Alternative to #5, or if #5 doesn't produce good results, do a fresh 
install on the destination drive and restore/ configure.
