How do I perform a Hard Disk Image Restore to a different disk

Actually YOU can, if the receiving Partition is a little larger.

SO if you have a dd image, say of 1.2GB and the receiving is set up at
1.5GB then you can JUST dd over to the 1.5.

I do that all the time with some commercial software that ties License to
inodes on the Partition it is installed on.

Just run gparted on the partition that received it, if you wish to make it
larger, then fsck it ...

Hope this helps ..
