Duplicating a hard disk
Raw

# If you have two IDE drives that are of identical size, provided that you are sure that they contain no bad sectors, you can execute this command to copy the entire disk and avoid having to install an operating system from scratch. It doesn't matter what is on the original (Windows, LINUX or whatever) since each sector is identically duplicated, the new system will work perfectly.
