I am building three identical systems. Well they will have different

install time they are identical.
Is there some way, (with dd I might guess) to do a hardare level copy?
All three drives are Hitachi DK23DA-40F (40Gb). Supposedly factory
reconditioned (they are in sealed bags with a drive sticker stating:
"Refurbished to Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Specifications").
I would want to copy the paritition table and my 3 partitions (/boot,
swap, LVM (/ and /home ext3 partitions in the LVM)) and all their contents.
Thing is I only have one USB drive enclosure so I would be running from
the drive I want to copy from.
Boot from the install CD with 'linux rescue' at the boot prompt so you
can do the dd copy with none of the partitions mounted.
