I'd use dd (disk dump) to clone HD to HD.

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb

Can we also dd if/dev/hda1 of/dev/hdb1?
Can we copy between drives or partitions of different sizes with dd, like we can with cp -a *? We have some 340 and some 500MB.

We were unable to copy Win98 between hard drives using DOS and boot the
result. Might be something about the hidden files.

Would cp -a /hd/* . (after mounting both drives and cd'ing to target)
clone a Win98 hard drive after formatting to FAT32?
