I don't know any way to do a block-for-block copy, but an easy way to do a
file-by-file copy is using Public Folder.

Just use the Customize dialog to designate your whole hard disk as your "Public
Folder" (you do this by changing the Public Folder location from ":Public:" to
you hard disk such as "HD40:").

After making the change, reboot the machine, then just copy everything.  It's
actually fairly fast...
