1, Is there way to clone this hard drive ?
If you are cloning it to an identical hard drive, you can use dd, eg:
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb
2, Is it possible to create bootable CD of the working system so that
when I boot to new system from CD it will install exact the same
with the working system I have now.
systemimager can do this. I haven't ever used it to make a CD, but I
have used it to network boot installs.
You would need to install systemimager-server on another machine and
systemimager-client on the one you are cloning.
Run 'prepareclient' on the client, then 'getimage' on the server. Then
run 'updateclient' on the destination machine.
