I have a spare 250G hard drive. Can I use "dd" to capture 250 gigs

Yes, as dd gives you an 1:1 copy of what you have.
It will give an exact copy of the first 250G, which also means it will
not resize the 500G filesystem into a working 250G version.
The first step would be a copy of the entire drive. Then the filesystem
can be repaired and resized.
