Try to clone it with dd command from a knoppix live cd.

Something as:

dd if=/dev/hda of=/media/hdb1/giga80.img

dd if=/media/hdb1/giga80.img of=/dev/hda


This implies that in hda (primary master) you have the source disk and
in the second line in hda you have the destination disk.

hdb is the temporal disk which should be fat32 and mounted already,...

But Gnu is so good that you do not need any temporal disk for doing this.

If hda is source disk and hdb is destination disk you can do your 
cloning this way:

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb

About your message... :) ... It seems that Acronis has done something 
bad on the cloning because grub was not able to mount the partition.
