[nmglug] cloning away, sort of

Hello All,

I'm working on cloning my laptop 250GB SSD to an external SSD of 1TB 
capacity. As I've done in the past I tried booting from a GParted CD but 
in this case I can't. In the BIOS there is only the laptop SSD as a boot 
option. Maybe Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't even recognize the CD? In any case 
I'm creating a bootable thumb drive and will try that. As you all know, 
I need to boot from an external drive to use dd to clone the laptop drive.

Just an FYI

Cheers!
