Vista x64 cloned onto /dev/sda2 won't boot

[otheracco]

I don't know if this will work. My problem differs from other GRUB dual boot issues as does the way it was installed (by imaging windows partition directly, not installing from DVD).
I also need to throw in an unrelated question to SWAP space not being mounted after repartitioning it.
I'll supply screenshots to more easily explain.

Here's my partition


The following steps are what I did.
1.) Installed Ubuntu on whole disc
2.) In Gparted, shrunk Ubuntu and deleted SWAP partition
3.) In Gparted, created NTFS partition at 'end' of drive
4.) Re-created extended and SWAP partition between Ubuntu and NTFS
5.) Used the following command to copy my Vista install from another working disc (/dev/hda) onto main disc (/dev/sda)
- 'dd if=\dev\hda1 of=\dev\sda2 bs=128M
- I also created the destination partition about 3GB larger to make sure I had enough space and didn't run into a boundary.
6.) Edited 'menu.lst' to the following

# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
#            grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
#            grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
#            and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default		0

## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout		3

## hiddenmenu
# Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)
hiddenmenu

# Pretty colours
#color cyan/blue white/blue

## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line)  and entries protected by the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret
#      password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/
# password topsecret

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

When I restart the PC and press ESC to enter GRUB menu, I select 'Windows Vista' from the list, hit enter, and it hangs while displaying 'starting up' (or something very similar).

[otheracco]

This is solved. I don't know why an exact replica with 'dd' didn't work, but I did get it working.

What I did was created a WIM image with winpe and imagex and then applied it to the partition.

Everything works now and I didn't even have to change my Windows entry in GRUB.
