IMHO, yes. ;-)
Apart from the time spent fiddling. I might as well just clone the original again. It has all the latest MS updates too.

Did it have all the updates on when you cloned it last time?
Yes. It original updates on auto. The cloned version was done several months ago and had done at least one update itself too.
It'll be interesting to see whether the new cloned version works okay, as it may have on it whatever updates have caused the problem. Good luck.
Create a windows bootable repair disk .. if it will boot off that you may be able to recover.
Also get a HDD check program from disk manufacturer - not a generic one .... (free download) and do a full disk check, may have a sector fault.
Didn't work last time - so I'm not sure I can be even bothered to try it again now.
It's a new HD. Be a bit of a coincidence that the same thing happened on the last one.
