You can do that. There are many solutions, I suggest you to use sfdisk and cp, we admit, you have two disks, on a same computer, the first disk with data and the second disk with nothing, see my example to copy partitions and to copy data : (do everything as root) 1 - We copy partitions : sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk /dev/hdc 2 - We copy all data for / : mount -t auto /dev/hdc1 /mnt/ cp -dpRx / /mnt/ mount -t auto /dev/hdc2 /mnt/home cp -dpRx /home /mnt/ and other partitions... The advantage is that you don't need to boot with a live CD but the second disk has to be on the same computer.
