How to clone a system from one disk to another?

The situation is as follows:
There are 2 absolutely identical working laptops (with Windows 8), on one of which (notebook2) very "smart" guys deleted the partition necessary for recovery (the partition with Recovery) with their little hands.

  • laptop1 with disk1 - normal
  • laptop2 with disk2 - patient requiring surgery
  • GPT partitions on both drives

I want to restore the system on laptop2 (patient) to its original factory settings by restoring it from Recovery. To do this, I need to restore the factory layout of the disk and clone the partitions from the working disk of the laptop1.
What I do:
- I take out a hard disk (disk1) from a normal laptop1
- I connect this disk1 to a laptop2-patient
- I boot from a USB flash drive with GParted and, following the pattern and likeness of disk1, I restore the layout of disk2 (flags, labels including)
- I boot from a USB flash drive with CloneZilla and one by one I clone the partitions of disk1 (normal) to disk2 (patient)
- at the end I turn off the laptop, pull out disk1 and flash drive, and try to boot
- the result is 0, the system does not boot

- I boot from a USB flash drive with CloneZilla and clone partitions of disk1 (normal) to disk2 (patient) one by one

Replace with:
- boot from any livecd and do dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda bs=1M.
