If that's true, i.e., Acronis produces exact clone, then wouldn't the checksums or signatures should be the same between the 2 drives? My thinking is that since the source and target drive are practically identical (same manufacturer/model/size) and if the cloning is byte-by-byte or even sector-by-sector then at the end, the target drive should be identical to the source drive. My Lenovo laptop (Y400) has Windows 8 in an UEFI platform so I have to extract the hard drive and move to another non-UEFI computer to perform the cloning via the Recovery CD (otherwise UEFI will prevent the Recovery CD from booting successfully).
