Try gparted - it copies and resizes pretty much all known partitions.
Doesn't copy the MBR, though.

That's great - I wonder if anyone has been able to clone
windows from a PARTITION to a new (larger) partition of another drive,
and boot it. In my case I tried
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdc1 bs=128M
then I used the ntfs util called ntfsresize:
ntfsresize /dev/sdc1
which finished successfully.
I tried to boot from the new drive, but windows gets as far as the
windows logo splash screen and then reboots.

Subject: Re: Copying a Hard Disk Containing Windows With Fedora
Dear friends,
It worked! The old Windoze system seems to be happily running from
the new hard disk now. Copying took a little bit more than an hour and
a half.
The actual command was
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda
Thanks for the advice.
Take care
Oliver

Dear friends,
I need to copy the hard disk of a Windows computer to a new hard
disk of equal size. I was thinking of connecting both drives
(SATA/150), booting from the Fedora 8 Rescue Disk and then do
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb
in hope that after that, the second hard disk can be used in place
of the first one (including booting Windows, of course).
Does this work? Thanks!
Take care
Oliver
