<p>I can be there at 5:30. As far as a's cloning, it's great the ssd
boots. Is the OS usable after it boots? I've never had a problem
booting from a usb connected HDD. I must be misunderstanding you
a, but did you let the cloning run until the led stop blinking?
You definitely don't want to stop the process cold because of time
constraints. The time sounds about right to clone. Again, I don't
really understand but you would not need to format the SSD to ext4
since cloning to it would create all the partitions and other
parameters that the old drive has. I've never formatted the target
drive so again, I don't know what the ramifications of doing so
are.</p>

That would give us 90 minutes for an install. I can be there at

Are you able to boot off the SSD?<br>

Should be a boot option from the BIOS menu. Sometimes
it's F9-12. Sometimes Del. Depends on the model.<br>

If it's a USB mount, you might have some issues, but
worth a quick test.<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>

<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: <a

<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.

...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.
