Replacing Hard Drives

I have a set up that I'm happy with but the Raptor that I'm using is dieing

I use debian, what is the best way to copy the data across with the least fuss - is there some sort of ghosting utility that would do it?

Thanks

A very similar question to this was asked recently in here actually

I personally would use dd as it does the copy in a low-level manner, although you could also use cpio

yep use dd eg:-

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb
