I think you want to use a disk clone to do this, something like the
clonezilla live CD. As long as the drives are the same size, or the
target drive is larger, clonezilla will just copy one drive to the
other. It does a bit by bit clone, so it doesn't care about files and
permissions and such.
Even if you could copy with cp, you need the boot sector and such to get
the OS up, so that wouldn't work.
