I recently did something similar (although I didn't want all exactly equal for
all partitions), and
found a mini-howto very useful.
But I don't know where I got it. I think I found it either through the
www.google.com or www.alltheweb.com
search engines. I'll copy the first lines and

Depending on what type of harddrive you have. For example Seagate and
Quantum have a utility to transfer content of a whole harddrive to another

hardware. Also, I've tested it with fat32, not with ext2fs :-(.

dd --- diskdump --- is what you want. Byte for byte copying.

I'm not so sure this would work around bad sectors on the hard drives.

In my experience these dma/irq errors don't necessarily mean that your
hd is about to die. I had these
