`dd` is your friend in Linux.

Boot from a live-cd, and do a

dd if=/dev/olddisk of=/dev/newdisk

to get an exact clone of your drive.
You will need to replace olddisk and newdisk with the actual devices and 
of course: Be sure not to swap the input (if) with the output (of).

dd gives you great power. And with great power, there comes great 
responibility :)
