I use plain and simple dd from a livecd for this purpose.. Make sure
you get the devices correct though! After dd has finished, you can use
gparted to grow you partitions (or system-config-lvm in case of lvm).
Alternatively, if you want to rearrange your partitions, you could
create a partition table seperately, and then copy individual
partiations over using dd. For that to work however, I suspect you
need to make sure you only have a partition table, rather then
complete filesystems.
Good luck!

If you just want more space, there are several things already mentioned
which
will work. If you want to get best performance you will have to manually
build
the new layout. If you have some application or data which is taking most of
the
space, like MP3, flash clips, pictures or movies, you will get better
performance putting them in a filesystem tuned to the file size involved,
and if
you have a huge number of small files you might consider a filesystem other
than
ext4 default, either something else or some of the neat extended options
which
can make things faster.
For "more of the same" there are a number of solutions, read the suggestions
you
have and choose.
