I used dd off the Gnome Live CD, so that neither

to use dd as follows:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb

It took approx. 6 hours to copy over 450GB of data.

You would be better off using gparted or clonzilla to do the copping. With DD, it has to copy every byte. The others understand file systems and only copy data, not empty space.
