Restore to a New Drive Failure to Boot
Posted: Sun Nov 05, 2023 9:00 pm
I have Win10 and Ubuntu on a SSD that is starting to go bad and have backed up Win10, Recovery, EFI, Ubuntu root and home directories using a recent Image for Windows usb. I am operating in UEFI secure boot mode. On the new target drive I have created the same partitions (size, type and order) that was on the original drive. And both original drive and new drive are a GPT type. I removed the old SSD and did a restore of the Win10, EFI, and Recovery tbi backup files to their respective new partitions and tried to boot that up and it failed with a 0xc000000e error which means it can't find a drive.
I'm doing something wrong. Perhaps I should not restore the EFI? Or are there some restore options like "update boot partition" and "update boot.ini" that should be checked? Suggestions? Thanks.
