You can take a shot at dd. # dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb Though you will loose any extra space. I recommend partitioning the second disk first, format all partitions with respective OS's with bad block checking and then do a DD partition by partiton. This way you will have usable space left on second drive. Then you will need to copy the MBR. Or make the linux 'Installation' on second disk bootable thr. primary linux. Boot into second hard disk and run it's own lilo to point to mbr of second HDD. HTH..
