Um, probably not, technically.
Thats a lot of questions for one final question.
When you physically swap hardware such as a hard drive the computer BIOS will usually recognise there is a change and pause when you turn it back on the first time for you to confirm the change is OK, once you do that with a cloned drive then Yes it will work as if nothing had changed. All your viruses will be fully operational again too ! All updates since your last backup will be lost of course. Ghosting drives doesn't protect you from yourself, all your bad habits will still be there whereas re-installing the OS gives you a clean slate. The OS is a waste backing up IMHO.
