Change my laptop, I need re-install? - wonder - 10th February 2017
Hi.
I change my laptop, in my old laptop I have installed Maui¡, but in UEFI and with GPT partitions.
The "new" laptop not have UEFI.
I changed my hard disk, when I try to start, not start.
I ustart with SuperGrub, and I can start my Maui in this "new" laptop.
I try with sudo update-grub, but when restart, not start Maui.
I need reinstall maui in my "new" laptop?
Regards.

Hi,
You need to migrate the whole disk using the old laptop (mount the new disk into the old laptop). It's a very easy 2 step procedure:
1. first copy all data using rsync with the following command (if the whole disk, then omit the exclude part)
Code:
sudo rsync -a -v --exclude "excluded_folder_name_or_pattern" /media/<source_uuid>/ /media/<destination_uuid>2. second step is to restore grub on the new disk using boot-repair for example. A good guide is available here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
More scenarios are available at this link (it is a guide for migrating to SSD disk, but it doesn't matter at all - the procedures for migrating data are the same): https://radu.cotescu.com/migrating-your-ubuntu-machine-to-a-ssd-drive/
