Hi,
On the old BIOS systems, if I wanted to swap hard drives on a system (e.g. move over to a bigger one), I could clone it off-line, then swap over, and it'd just work.
Should I expect a UEFI system to do it that simply?
And do secure boot options throw any spanners in the works, too?
I tried this last night, and it didn't want to boot. I cloned it using "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb" while booted from a gparted ISO on a USB flashdrive (current release). Shut down. Unplugged the old drive. Rebooted.
Surely if you're moving to a larger disk, you don't want 'dd', which will just clone the exact same partition table and sizes?
