You can do that. There are many solutions, I suggest you to use sfdisk
and cp, we admit, you have two disks, on a same computer, the first disk
with data and the second disk with nothing, see my example to copy
partitions and to copy data :
(do everything as root)
1 - We copy partitions :
sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk /dev/hdc
2 - We copy all data for / :
mount -t auto /dev/hdc1 /mnt/
cp -dpRx / /mnt/
mount -t auto /dev/hdc2 /mnt/home
cp -dpRx /home /mnt/
and other partitions...
The advantage is that you don't need to boot with a live CD but the
second disk has to be on the same computer.

Look into debootstrap; it will install Debian into a separate partition,
and you can copy your /home folder over (so you will have the same
configuration). Of course, you'll need to reinstall all of the packages
you've installed in your original Debian system, but I'm sure you
expected that :]
(Note: This isn't a method to clone a Debian system, this is a way to
install a separate instance of Debian)
