When I installed the OS on the older drives, I did it from an ISO disc that I burned to a DVD from the linux site. I really like Mint 20.3 Cinnamon and I'd like to add it to the new drive, if possible. I'd even be happy with keeping the old larger 500GB drive and just booting into the the 4TB one without fully installing Mint on it, but I took the smaller drive out and connected the new one and kept getting some message about "grub". It won't boot into Mint on its own. The drive is there and visible during start up, but it doesn't seem to like the new swap. "Selected boot device not available". There's nothing new on the drive for it to boot into, so I would really appreciate any help.
I would also like any feedback on the best way to move all my data from both drives to the new one, if/when I figure out how to boot into the new drive. Any instructions would be greatly appreciated. I have tons of music in my collection, more than 3TB total, including the two hard drives and many flash drives. Music is what I do. Building my collection means the world to me, and it's something I've been doing more than half my life.
I've searched through the board topics and haven't found any solved similar issues that would help me. I wouldn't be asking unless I truly believed I was out of options.
I'll provide my inxi -Fx configuration if that will help.
Thank you guys so much in advance,
Danny
P.S. I'm aware my radeon temp is pretty high at the moment. When I take it apart and clean the inside, it always drops back down to around 70-72
