jimeu -
If your cloning of the original disk went ok then you *should* have the private/hidden OS in the first couple of partitions. When you boot the Snap, it should be able to access those. The Snap will still think the HDD is the same size as the original (mine thought it was only 40gb) so will boot up ok, but not "see" the whole disk size.
Step's 10 onwards "forces" the Snap to recalulate the size and it only shows up after a reboot. In the process of rebooting it needs to format the whole drive, so does take a little while, but not more than an hour (well mine didn't). I was able to http to the Snap and watch the reformatting process - about as fun as watching paint dry !
The really time consuming part for me was the "dolly" copy - hours - I means hours !
Once that was done I was sorted :-)
Perhaps give it another go, it's worth the effort.
Cheers,
