Yep.

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb


Re:is carbon copy cloner only for mac os?

Re:I have a similar question….I have an old Quantum drive I'd like to do the same thing with but since Maxtor bought them there are no manufacturuer utilities (that I know of)….also all I have read say the Maxblast software won't work with Quantum drives :(

Any comments/suggestions are appreciated

It should be on most live cds. It might do what you want.

Re:I've always used the free utilities available from the drive manufacturer like Merlocka said. They work slower than Ghost or True Image but I have never had any problems using them. Unlike Merlocka, I have found that all of them require at least one of the drives is ID'd as the manufacturers, including Maxtors MaxBlast.

Re:just go to the website of the drive manufacturer, and download their utility. Maxtor and WD both have drive copy utilities, I'm 95% sure the Maxtor works on any drive (although it' pops up a warning if no Maxtor drives are attached).
