If both hd's have the same geometry just use their device names as arguments to the 'if' and 'of' arguments, for example
$ dd if=/dev/hdx of=/dev/hdy If not, you can partition the second disk *exactly* the same way the old one is partitioned to copy the partitions one after another, for example $ dd if=/dev/hdx1 of=/dev/hdy1 and so on for every partition number.
