Hi everyone! I have Manjaro KDE on a USB drive and I’d like to move it to an SSD beside Win 10, in order to have a dual boot with no needing for an external USB. I’ve tried both with GParted and Clonezilla, but when I try to boot from BIOS I can see only Windows 10 or UEFI OS, and if I select it I get:
Error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue:
Does anybody know how to move it properly?
We need much more info to help you, i.e. when you USB stick is connected
inxi -Fxxxza --no-host
sudo fdisk -l
sudo parted -l
sudo blkid
sudo efibootmgr -v
cat /etc/fstab
Probably, you only need to chroot into the moved system and re-install the boot loader but this should be prepared properly.
Right, sorry I forgot to post the information. Here there’s everything, except gparted which gave me an error.
inxi -Fxxxza --no-host

Your disk and partition structure is a bit confusing.
- sda is a hdd and sdb is a ssd?
- I guess your Windoze is on sda?
- What is purpose of sda5?
- I guess you want to move Linux Manjaro to sdb, right?
- Purpose of sdb is pure data partition?
Ok, I’ll do it. In any case, can you advise me on a way to correctly migrate Manjaro to that SSD next to Windows, or can you link me to a suitable guide? I searched but found nothing, unfortunately
Otherwise is there a way to make a total backup of files and configurations so that I can install Manjaro from scratch and then restore it to not have to reconfigure everything?
