You can download and use the Apple "Recovery Disk Assistant" to add a recovery partition to your other disk (search for it on the Apple site).
Then you can use SuperDuper to clone the drive.
SuperDuper is an execllent cloning utility, as is Carbon Copy Cloner (I own and use both).
With respect to CCC and recovery partition. It was my understanding that CCC just made a container file copy of the recovery partition, that could then be restored using a special CCC menu entry. I did not think CCC actually created a working recovery parttion on the clone drive. Did I understand this wrong?
