Not sure what you are trying to do or which platform you are trying to do it
on or from?

If you want to duplicate 100% a Mac partition so it can boot I use
Retrospect and its duplicate feature.

In fact I use this all the time to keep a working backup of my PowerBooks
hard drive.

If I have misunderstood, then my apologies.
