With foxcloneV50 cloned the os, LM 21.1 cinn, on a laptop from an HDD to a SSD (SATA) The SSd was connected by USB port. Clone drive to drive.
Clone seemed to be succesfull. Nonetheless SSD doesn't boot when swapped with the HDD.
In liveboot the SSD and its contents are reachable.
How gett he cloen on SSD working?

Re: foxcloneV50 clone doesn't boot.
Maybe the UEFI being used is not on the SSD, but instead on the HDD you are replacing with the SSD??
Re: foxcloneV50 clone doesn't boot.
foxcloneV50 copies everytthing to the 2nd disk. So wonder about that. But how to check?
This is gparted showing of the new SSD

Re: foxcloneV50 clone doesn't boot.
I think I know what source of the problem is, the new way the mint installer installs legacy boot with a gpt partition table and bios_grub partition. Exactly what has gone wrong would require some testing*.

Re: foxcloneV50 clone doesn't boot.
YES spot on! Absolutely wonderful!
Code: Select all
mint@mint:~$ efibootmgr
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
mint@mint:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt

Re: [SOLVED] foxcloneV50 clone doesn't boot.
Glad it worked!
I'll now have to try and figure out why? At the moment all I can think of is that it isn't copying the bios_grub partition correctly (but it should). Not going to commit to a date for the fix.
This is an example of how the distro devs can make life difficult for the likes of me. I wasn't convinced about the "improvements" to "erase and install" legacy boot with LM21 (and it will be ubuntu 22.04 as well). Sigh
