The RAW nature of Disk Imager fails to leverage the unique intentions of UUID to surmount the problems of multiple bootable drives in the same system for purposes of knowing which one you actually booted from and should continue to use.

Win32DiskImage rulez. :-D
Bonus: No more geometry problems on old BIOSes. Just create a nice GPT

hidden as unknown data partition...
