Yes.
dd is the best way IMO - just make sure you've got DMA turned on & use a
decent blocksize, or it takes forever.
There are a couple of utilities that do stuff like this - such as FOG
http://freshmeat.net/projects/freeghost/ . I don't use apps like this;
they're just fluff as far as I'm concerned.
If you're trying to move between different filesystems, consider using
rsync. You ought really to do this from a liveCD, but TBH, I've done it
loads of times with no problems. You just get a warning next time you
boot...
HTH
Vic.
