Urgent: Copy hda to hdb with dd?

It can be easily done using utilities like Norton's Ghost etc. You cannot
just do a copy but need to use a utility like Ghost.

Am 23. Mar, 2002 schwätzte alandd@mindspring.com so:

> Situation: Four identical computers assembled from identical components.
> Goal: Install Windows 2000 with NTFS and all the same apps on all the
computers.
> Plan: Install everything on one computer then duplicate that drive to the
other three drives that way configuration and installation only has to
happen once.

Last I knew you couldn't just copy m$ boxen like this. They setup some
super-secret serial number and no one else is allowed to have the same one.
Ghost copies the drives, then changes the super-secret number thingy.
