I am sure I could spend the time to do dd and fdisk, etc, but dumb it

system and do a dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb and will that get the boot
sectors, etc ? Is it that simple ?
best option is to use a seperate booting linux if you need one i like
insert its like 55mb then use dd_rescue it takes simpler parameters and
is faster, and handles drive errors better (not a great thing to be
copying dead data, but you can get lucky)

The rest was parse-able.
