I don't know for sure if this will work but +1 and I'm going to try.

You can also use the image in VirtualBox. Ubuntu normally installs drivers for various hardware (unlike Windows), making it more portable, so this will generally work.

This will not just work. The file /etc/fstab is the file your system reads to know what disks mount where. The disks are stored by a uuid, and when you make a new disk this won't be the same. You will need to edit this file on the new system to fix that. Also network cards will be renamed (that would happen anyways.)

Also to make the image, you should run a live cd with the disk not mounted. Store the image on another disk.
