If the drives are *exactly* identical, you can move your old drive to be
the slave on the secondary ide channel, which makes it hdd. Then place
the new drive on hda. Boot Knoppix, or another suitable live CD distro,

dd if=/dev/hdd of=/dev/hda

Instead of a device-device copy e.g. "cp /dev/hda /dev/hdb" I hope to do
"cp image" followed by cp image " where "image" is
a disk image file of the original drive.
