moving drives between notebooks that use UEFI
I am only now figuring out what UEFI means and what it has been doing to
me over the years...
Right now I have a system that is failing. The drive is fine. I want
to put the drive into an identical notebook. But of course it is really
not identical. It does not have the same UEFI information.
I would need a tool that would get me the information from the dying
system's UEFI store. Then boot the new system with, say a liveCD image
and set that system's UEFI store appropriately. Then move the drive to
the new system.
Are there tools for this in Fedora? What about Windows 7, if that is
what is on the new system (instead of booting with a liveCD image).
BTW, back in BIOS days, and with my armv7 SOC systems, my process was to
build a drive on a test system, then just drop it in the production
hardware in the rack. No wonder swapping drives on my notebook has not
worked...
thanks
