Cloning a Hard drive ?

As long as the two drives are NOT mounted you can use the dd command:




Code:
--------------------
    dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb
--------------------




That will make a replica of /dev/hda on /dev/hdb.  You might want to
check for bad sectors on both drives before doing this.
