dd

Boot with linux livecd of your choice. Have both drives connected.

Code: [Select]
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc

NOTE: This assumes the source is the master on the first channel and the destination master on the 2nd channel. dd will happily copy the empty HD over the filled one, so make sure you get the source and destination right.

I currently have both drives connected via IDE-USB adapters as I do not have a machine with available IDE channels at the moment. Will the drives still be visible to dd?

If the drives are visible to the OS. For example Knoppix should work with most systems.
