Boots Into HDD instead Of SSD.

[harsh gyro]

I Bought A New SSD And Cloned efi Partition As well as my main partion to the new drive using Clonezilla .

Also

in The Bios i changed the bootdrive to the ssd insted of HDD

[low mango]

disable the secure boot in BIOS

[harsh gyro]

its already off

i have been using linux mint on hdd for a long time so its already off

[civic latch]

try unplugging the hdd temporarily and see if it boots from the ssd

if that works and you verified all the data is there you can wipe the hdd

afterwards you can make a new partition on the hdd and use it to store extra data

Isn't it possible to set the boot priority order in the BIOS?

[pseudo sun]

the problem is, @harsh gyro that you probably have TWO identical EFI partitions now. They both indicate the same data. and that is to start an OS off the HDD.

[harsh gyro]

oh

so what should i do now

[harsh gyro]

as said i already did that

[pseudo sun]

u just want to boot one operating system, right?

[pastel zodiac]

Welp, seems like I can't read

[pseudo sun]

@harsh gyro

[harsh gyro]

yes

[harsh gyro]

np

I would recommend to unplug the HDD, then run up a Mint live USB.. use the Boot Repair application there to do a boot repair operation onto the SSD. once that is done. test operation.

if all is good, you may replug the HDD after shut off power, then once again, boot live USB.. use gparted to delete the EFI partition FROM THE OLD HARD DRIVE. that should be good to go after, since the system will only see the new EFI on SSD

[harsh gyro]

i am having a laptop so its not easy to unplug

[pseudo sun]

shrugs

im guessing then u put an SSD externally?

[harsh gyro]

nope

[pseudo sun]

then how?

[harsh gyro]

i dissessmbled like 150 parts -_-

[pseudo sun]

fine then just boot live usb, and wipe the hard drive clean.

afterwards, run boot repair tool while still in the live session.. and let it update the bootloader to the SSD. (it shouldnt find anything else, since you wiped the hard drive)

[harsh gyro]

umm i will diss assemble 1 more

its safe right

[pseudo sun]

my last reply was to do it without disassembly.

up to you which method you want to go with.

[harsh gyro]

let me see

It Worked Thanks For Helping 🙂

[pseudo sun]

[harsh gyro]

Yes It Did

I Used Method 1

ie i dis assembled my laptop

[pseudo sun]

oh this method. ok. yeah that would definitely fix it

SOLVED

[harsh gyro]

Yes 🙂

SOLVED

for future reference: don't use cloning tools especially if you're cloning the entire drive. it will almost always lead to issues like this or data loss

[harsh gyro]

oh i got it

i saw a guide to use cloning tools online
