Yes, the drive onto which I Recover the Image is Active and Primary.
It is brand new and not even partitioned.

The above statement cannot be true if there are no existing partitions.
Suggestion: Partition and format the drive. Then clone your image to it.

I think the next step will be for you, or Michael, to instruct me how
to deactivate the RC altogether, after which I will first test my
Master Drive (and pray that it will still work), and then repeat
the D-I Image creation followed by trying to create the clone from it.

To make it less troublesome to boot, you could reduce the timeout to 3
seconds.

To remove the recovery console, delete the cmdcons folder off of C: and
edit the boot.ini file to remove the reference to it.
