Following the instructions for method 2 exactly, this time I did choose to check that the image was restorable. Previously, I had not, as I already checked it after the image was created as part of that process.
So that took a while. But although the checking passed–the restore still failed. See images below:
The “failed to create a partition table on this disk” makes me think the -k0 and -k1 do not work in this situation. And it looks like the EFI partition worked as the #2 partition is where the issue was, and that is the main partition.
I will try again by first using gparted and wiping the disk and not making the identical partition and see if CZ can do it. But unless I am misunderstanding, it is the main partition size of the image that is conflicting with the main partition size of the target drive that is causing all the trouble.
Thanks,
