Clone an Apple Fusion to a Single HDD and Boot From It?

For reasons I don't feel like attempting to explain, I've got an iMac here that I can't re-install the SSD or it refuses to power on. I posted more details about that here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/33014474

I can mount the Fusion just fine on another Mac. I'm just wondering if anyone knows a way to clone the volume to a single HDD and boot the machine. I'm thinking I might have to just do a Mac OS install first onto it, then just do a file copy on top afterward, but it would certainly be easier to just clone it somehow.

Yes, thanks. Mounting it in MacOS and then using diskutil to restore it to the single HDD worked like a charm and booted right up.
