cloning bootable hard drive



 I'm not having a lot of luck doing quick clones of my installs from one bootable hard drive to create another bootable drive. I haven't tried all my options yet but I thought it wise to ask the community for advice. 

Again, it is Suse 10.3 using the Grub boot loader which resides in the root partition, but I'd like to be able to do this with any flavor of Linux and booter. A bootable CD with appropriate software to quickly create a bootable drive with swap, /, etc. and then copy all of the files from the original drive is best. I have Acronis but it has not worked so well for my Suse installs. 

Thanks again.
