In a similar vein to OP's question, I am going to buy a new boot
disk, because my hda is old enough -- and drives are cheap enough --
that I'd rather replace it before it fails.
So I checked out CloneZilla, but it seems to be aimed at
institutional use. Even partimage seems to need an intermediary step.
Is there any way to directly clone /dev/hda to /dev/sdX, so that I
can then boot off of /dev/sdX?
