I have a Windows machine that also has some linux partitions.  lilo  
is the main boot manager.  Can I used dd from my freebsd box to  
completely copy the whole disk, partition tables and all, to another  
disk?  The disk in the machine is starting to appear to be a little  
flaky and I have another of the same mechanisms here and would like  
to just basically clone the whole thing over.  I seldom use the  
machine but when I do need it I need it (tax time, an old website  
that uses a specific windows tool for updating, etc)

Thanks
Chad
