if you want to copy an entire HD, including the MBR, partition tables, etc,
try the G4U (ghost for unix) project from sourceforge.  i've used it several
times and it works great regardless of partition type, including ext2, ext3,
ntfs, fat32, etc.  for best results, the two disks should have identical
geometry, but as long as the destination disk is not smaller than the
source, it should be ok.
