[SLUG] disk duplication

[Michael]

I have two identical hard drives. One has live OS on it, and the other is
completely empty. No partitations at all, and no data.

Would the following work;

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=64k

To duplicate the entire disk of /dev/hda to the disk /dev/hdb

And once it is done.. would the 2nd disk be bootable? and would the first
disk be intact?

Thanks
Michael
