[NCLUG] hard disk copy

[Daniel Herrington]

What's an easy way to copy my entire two partitions (/ and /boot) from 
one hard drive
to another?  In the past I've used "rsync -av ...", but I thought 
there's got to be an easier,
more foolproof way.  The last time I copied it the grub stuff never 
worked right.  Maxtor
has something called Max-Blast that will partition a new drive and copy 
the old drive's
contents onto it, and it works great for Windows.  I don't trust it for 
Linux partitions, and
it only works if you have at least one Maxtor drive in your system.  The 
two I've got in
the system are an IBM and a WD.

E.g.: Is there a floppy disk image that you can boot and tell it to copy 
/dev/hde1 to /dev/hdg1
and /dev/hde2 to /dev/hdg2?

Thanks,
