You'd really really want to take a look at specifying a block size if
you take this approach, otherwise your copy is likely to take forever
and a day.

Hell
If both hd's have the same geometry just use their device names as
arguments to the 'if' and 'of' arguments, for example
$ dd if=/dev/hdx of=/dev/hdy
If not, you can partition the second disk *exactly* the same way the
old one is partitioned to copy the partitions one after another, for
example
Hello all
Can someone give me someadvice on how I
would use dd to copy the contents of one
harddisk to another hardisk on the same
machine.
I want really to copy my linux stuff to a
new harddisk and get rid of the old hd.
