Ahbaid,
I'd use a product called Ghost. Boot it from a diskette. It will clone
any HDD to another so long as the second is larger than the first. One
problem, I think, with your approach is that it does not consider the
partitioning of the second HDD.

Subject: Duplicating Hard Disk...
Hi all,
I have a RH box with an ide drive on /dev/hda
I'd like to clone this drive...
Question:
Can I plug in another IDE drive as say /dev/hdb and run the following
command to do the trick?
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=512 count=1
If not, what's the best way? Assume the person doing this is an end user
in another country (really is)... :)
thanks,
Ahbaid.
