A cloned disk should be a cloned disk, regardless of operating system. So it might be a better option to use one of the many cloning tools available.
Thankfully it's not a lot of data, so it shouldn't take super long with your method. (If it does, it might be because it's broken. In which case cloning might be the better option, again.)

It finally finished after 9hrs. I did notice it 'tidied up' the disk as it copied it, it wrote all the files sequentially, in alphabetical order, so hopefully they are all contiguous sectors now without fragmentation. Waiting for the next time I have to do it, as this was the second time a HDD unit has started to fail after just 18months.
Next time paint something and watch it geting dry, it will keep you busy while waiting.
All those people who do backups they do it becase at one point in the past they cried a lot.
DARN and I STILL procrastinate on backups.
Just think - now you don't have to retype all of it . . . . .
I've been there done that, once its done and the incremental backup is set up - it does become sane again - or so "they" tell me. Its when its set to run overnight and you get it wrong that makes the adventure a morning-to-stay-away-from-people. . . . .
