how do I copy a harddrive the same way it is even boot partitions

like:

I have a hda and a hdb and I want to put a exact copy of my hda to hdb even with boot partitions...

what do I have to type or what command to use?

for any others it would be good if you post your results

I personally find it frustrating to see a post with someone asking exactly what you are trying to find with a "got it" answer and not how they got it

For future reference parted should work good fro this stuff

Well the thing was that I was having problems with using

dd if=/dev/hda4 of=/dev/hdc4

because the device C was smaller than the a so I use

dd if=/dev/hda4 of=/dev/hdc4 bs=200000

(I wanted to copy the same thing that I had on my drive a partition 4 to my c partition 4)
