Using Macrium Reflect to make the clone.
If you choose the easy option "Create an image of the partition(s)
required...", you're making a perfect backup copy, not a clone.
But I chose "clone". :-)
Most cloning programs give you the choice of cloning either the entire
disk - or individual partitions. You might also get the choice of
cloning sector-by-sector (slow) or not (faster). Either way, what you
get should be an exact copy of the source (but I don't know why I had to
do that 'Repair MBR' on a couple of occasions).
