Boot with a live CD (install CD will do fine), mount your new boot partition, copy everything over, edit fstab and menu.lst.

Thanks for your help. I did it.
First, i had to do what tomk said, coping every thing and editing the menu.lst and te fstab... and then, i had to reinstall grub to apply the changes.
thanks
