If the drives were different in size, dd could have truncated something. It
isn't always the best tool to use. Maybe try again with a different tool.
Also the fact that the drive is showing up as /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda
means that you are not using the best driver for the hard drive. Go into the
bios and try either native mode to serial ATA or SATA AHCI enable.
You might need to rebuild the initrd from a rescue disk after you boot.
