How do I easily copy or clone a boot partition onto a new hard drive?

I have two hard drives, one is empty and one is with data, and I want to clone one to other - 1:1 backup. What is the best tool for that?

    With the limited info you've given, it sounds like _any_ disk imaging tool would work. – Ward - Trying Codidact Sep 06 '11 at 13:32

Can you use linux (in general) ?

If so, simply use dd :

dd if=/dev/original_HD of=/dev/dest_HD
