I don't know if dd works. I've done this several times using freely available utilities. In one case I tried and it failed. I simply used a different utility and it worked. I was impressed with the results, particularly with dramatically improved boot times.
Sorry to be vague. You were asking about dd. If you're interested in which utility(s) I used just let me know. I should have records. The last time was a year ago.
