I can tell you, but first you'll have to gather the following items.

5 hogwarts
A potato that's been buried under a Full moon
A Muffler Bearing to a 72 Ford Pinto
A Picture of G8t in Lederhosen
and a Wishbone of a Duck.

Nope, picture has to be just as impossible to get as the rest of the list.

Question is what you want to do it for ?
A sector-by-sector backup for forensic investigation ?
Move data from one machine to another ?
Because cloning drives is the new thing taking over from cracking wep ?

As render said, good old dd does the job, but if you want something with a gui like Ghost, look no further than partimage ( http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page ), which often is included in linux distros out of the box.

If you want to go the dd route, this here guide should get you started : http://www.osdev.org/osfaq2/index.ph...0Under%20Linux

Copy the drive from my laptop to the new box so everything you did to it would be on the other. The problem is, they are different sized drives.

No problem.
Use partimage to image the partitions on the old drive. Boot up on a liveCD, since you are going to image root too. Store the image somewhere on the LAN (I.E. a windows machine with filesharing enabled, then mount the fileshare on the old machine, and tell partimage to store the image there. This means not using the native LAN imaging, but just a normal samba mounted share.)

When the partitions has been imaged (you need to store each partition in seperate images), boot up the new machine on the LiveCD, mount the same share, then restore each image in turn down on the new machine.
If you make the partitions on the new machine larger than they were on the old machine, you can then use the standard filesystem utilities to resize the actual FS to fill the partition on the new drive fully. (i.e. ext2/ext3 fs = man ext2resize / man resize2fs. Similar utils exists for reiser and other fs's.)

Holler if you need handholding over IM.

So, why doesn't BackTrack2 have partimage?? Downloaded system rescue cd. Not too bad, averaging 160 MB/Minute. I think the bottleneck is the slow laptop hard drive.

I check in here several times a day. I just don't post as much. Seems like the regulars are handling the tard wrangling just fine
