1. Scrap your Windows clone-disk program! It seems to have written to the source disk, destroyed its disk label.
2. The disk label contains the partition table. A new disk label comes with a generic partition table. That means the first partition ("s0", where it boots from) has identical start, but its size is certainly different; after some writings to the disk it can lead to I/O errors. Also the other partitions (obviously only the "s1" that is used for swap) are apart from their original location.
3. The black screen (when it enters graphics mode) might be a different problem. Did you change the graphics card, or the monitor, or the monitor cable?
