In that case, you can use cpio to copy the files from one hard drive to
another. Either over the wire (nfs mount) or locally (install the hard
drive as a slave in the source computer. 

I think I'd use this command:

$find . | cpio -pm /dest

I seem to remember using this command when moving home directories
around.
