Copy the Boot Drive
I wants to make a copy of my boot drive for 2 reasons.
A) Backup purposes. 2) Swapping out the HD for a larger one. I has a 60Gig in there now, and I want to replace it with a 200 Gig. Both are IDE and the 200 is in an IDE-to-USB adapter right now so I have flexability.

If you can have both drives installed at the same time, use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy your OS X partition from the old drive to the new one (after formatting the new one or a partition on it as HFS+ Journaled, of course). Then install a bootloader to the new drive (Chameleon's install setup, for instance, allows you to install to a drive other than the default one in use), reboot, and change boot devices to the new drive. This should have your kitty running anew.
