You could also use cpio as follows:

1. Cd to the target you want to copy to
2. The command is:  find -depth <source path> | cpio -pvdum  .

This will pass through the file tree from the find and pre-build the
entire structure for the target. cpio does a block and sector copy so
you need a file system target at least as large as the source.

Another suggestion that may work is to use mkisofs and create an iso
image of the source, which will also grab the boot sectors.

If I think of any more I'll pipe up again.
