How so?
Nothing?
No error message at all?
Have you checked the contents?

Why are you asking on the *Debian* lists? Doesn't Mint support it's own
product?
There are significant differences between Debian and Mint - so you're
milage will vary - as will the willingness of posters to help you.
If the Original is /dev/sdb and the destination (Clone) is /dev/sdc,
*and* neither is mounted (check with "mount") *and* Clone is the same
size *or* larger than /dev/sdb:-
# dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc
You don't say what bootmanager, filesystem you use, or whether the boot
manager uses Labels, or UUIDs.
If the boot manager uses UUIDS you'll need to modify the ones on
Destination to suit.
Cheers
