Hi a,<br>
<br>
Are you able to boot off the SSD?<br>
<br>
Should be a boot option from the BIOS menu. Sometimes it's F9-12.
Sometimes Del. Depends on the model.<br>
<br>
If it's a USB mount, you might have some issues, but worth a quick
test.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

<br>
TL;DR: Some circumstances require separate partitions for swap
and/or /boot, and even gain performance under certain
circumstances. However there is no technical reason for
a"normal" system to have separate partitions.<br>
<br>
Likely this was the default setup at some point. Sorry I didn't
notice that the first time. Normally I manually setup the
partitions, and have just added the /boot out of a "legacy"
habit.<br>

a supportive response to my various queries this past week,
Gparted loaded after I rebooted, I used the given option to
terminate the os load so the followed offered choice which I

I had known if the receiving SSD needed to be mounted or
unmounted. whether the unallocated file system needed any
tweeking a few basic things of that sort, I have erased the

<p>Hi a</p>
<p>I think there's a meeting tomorrow? I know that you live
away out and that you may not make the meeting. <br>
</p>
<p>At this point Jared is pretty right on about getting
hands on help. For my last HD up grade I did exactly what
Jared pointed out and I installed Ubuntu 18.04 onto the
new drive and then just copied data I wanted from the old
drive. I did this because my old drive's OS had been
upgraded over the years (and cloned to newer drives) since
Ubuntu 6.04 and had many configuration file patches, or
work-arounds to get it to function. It did until one day
when it blew and luckily, with Mark's help, I saved data
and was able to preserve everything important with a few
exceptions. Had my system not been pretty hosed and I
anted the SSD I would have used dd but couldn't. That's a
back story but it works just fine. I had to reinstall some
apps and futz with my browser and mail client to get all
of that data too but it wasn't difficult. It's not as
"perfect" as a dd clone where you don't have to do
anything but the cloning. It has potential downsides as
you have found out, if one doesn't grok what is going on.
Since I've never had an error yours is mysterious to me.</p>
<p>It is very weird that you have no boot partition on your
HDD. I have a sense that in cancelling the dd op something
got snipped out there. This happened with my hosed OS that
I refer to above and luckily Mark was able to stop the
bleed and rsync'd most of everything onto a spare drive.
(I have 4 or 5 drives that I've kept from these dd
upgraded drives so I have plenty of storage or salvage,
depending on the need). But losing a partition is strange
but could be that you did not use a bootable cd or thumb
drive. Is that the case? As I wrote I use dd with a live
cd and so the HDs aren't involved in anything other than
the cloning. You can imagine that a drive, the one in your
machine, is trying to run the command to clone itself
while it is running processes as it always does. It's a
moving source of data that is copying blocks that may
include running processes, like GParted for instance.</p>
<p>A question that a I think I know the answer to, but did
you get the lsblk info after your attempted cloning?<br>
</p>
<p>So do you have a functional OS on your machine? Can you
run apps, etc.? Is your data there? If these are the case
then a fix can be made, I'm pretty sure. It will take one
of the supreme GLUGGers I believe. BTW, I have found tons
of info on support sites as almost every issue has been
experienced by someone else at sometime. Here's and
example of what a google search of your error brought up:

<p>Sorry that this happened but I have learned more from my
mistakes than anything and one thing I have learned is
that almost anything can be fixed and if I can't figure it
out the answer is out there and in our cases we have a
vast storehouse of brainiacs in out GLUGGer groups and
they all have great dispositions and are happy to help!</p>
<p>Sorry for my verbose emails. It's how my mind works.</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I've mentioned before but dd makes this a simple and
fool-proof method of cloning the old drive to the new
one. It takes an enclosure for the new drive w/ usb
connection and that's it. After checking the drive
names to get the correct info into the command line it
is simply running something along the following (in
case your drives show up differently but this is what
I did upon fellow NMGLUGgers. Special thanks to Eric
almost 10 years ago!!):</p>

...will copy everything from hard drive sda to sdb (i.e. all
partitions, swap and all data), a true clone. No need to create
partitions or format them on the target hard drive as the dd command
will create them because it is copy of every single block of sda.
Now if you where copying a single partition to a new drive yes you
would have to create the target partition on the new hard drive.
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1M conv=notrunc,noerror
In the command above this would clone partition 1 on drive sda to
partition 1 on drive sdb. In this case you would not need to format
the new target partition either as it is again copying every block of
partition 1 of the source sda1 to the target sdb1.
Hope this helps.
