Buy two of those 3.5" to 2.5" adapters and stick the drives in a standard PC, boot with a Toms rootboot (http://www.toms.net) disk, and do a: cat /dev/hdb > /dev/hdc (replace with proper devices of course) Or buy one adapter, put the drive in a pc, leave the other in your laptop, and search the archives for "ghetto ghost". Then you can fdisk it and make a new partition with the extra space at the end of the drive. However, I think there's a way to resize e2fs partitions, though I've never done it.
