Mmmm...

You need both disks to be of equal size for that to work. Everything will 
be cloned exactly bit for bit, even if wrong.

There are specific tools out there to clone disks and modifiying sizes and 
partitions as needed. One of the most known is Ghost (windows), but 
although it handles some linux types, it gives problems. There is a linux 
program (cd live?) but I don't recall the name.
