something I've done is to use dd if=source HD of=targetHD
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb for example. This makes an exact copy. The
problem is that as far as the OS is concerned, it's still the smaller
device. If you dd'd a 10 Gb HD onto a 40Gb Hd, for instance, the
machine won't see the additional 30 Gb. You can fix this by resizing
the partitions. I've used parted successfully. Read the manual first.
It's on-line at
http://www.gnu.org/manual/parted-1.6.1/html_mono/parted.html
