When using dd, does the target drive have to be identical to source drive?
Do you have to specify /dev/hd0a and /dev/hd1a in order to copy the boot sector?

Thanks,

"if=/dev/hdxx" is the source disk, "of=/dev/hdxx" is the target disk.
dd copy all data of the source disk to the target disk, include boot sector, same as GHOST.
