Why can only one be connected at a time? Can you not stick the new one
in an external enclosure, or some USB to SATA/IDE converter?

I used an external adapter, booted from a Live USB stick and just used
gparted. It has a copy/paste feature where you just pick up partitions
from one disk and paste them onto another disk. Works rather well
modulo USB transfer speeds.
The only gotcha I had doing this was needing to manually install grub,
but that's not beyond the wit of man.
Cheers,
