I want to migrate my Thinkpad X1 Carbon (2015)'s Windows 8.1 installation to a new 240GB PCIe 2.0 4x SSD. I figured that Clonezilla may work for that but cannot boot now.
- Turned off SecureBoot because it wasn't letting me boot into Clonezilla Live USB.
- Booted into Clonezilla.
- Created an image of the original drive and saved it to USB drive.
- Shutdown.
- Swapped the drive on my Thinkpad to the new 240GB drive.
- Booted into Clonezilla.
- Imaged the new drive with the image in the USB drive.
However, now I am unable to boot into Windows. First, I get this message in the UEFI boot screen: First, I see this error on the UEFI screen:
error SataControllerSupported OpenProtocol gEfiDevicePathProtocolGuid status F
Then, It goes into some sort of "safe mode" saying it can't boot.
Some things I've tried:
Re-enabled SecureBoot, still same issue. Any thing else I should do on that end?
Tried going into advance mode's command prompt and running
bootrec
with/fixboot
and then/rebuildbcd
. The former said it was successful and the latter said it did not detect a Windows installation. Rebooted, still same issue.Put the original drive in and it worked without any issues.
Any other troubleshooting steps I should take? Or possible solution?
Note: I cannot connect both drives at the same time because I only have one M.2 connector so that limits the type of troubleshooting I could do.
Did you re-enable SecureBoot? – Steven – 2015-04-29T14:04:11.563
@Steven yes. Sorry, was just editing in my troubleshooting/fix attempts. That's one of the two things I've tried so far without success. – Belmin Fernandez – 2015-04-29T14:08:39.370
Can you still boot from the first HDD? – Cfinley – 2015-04-29T15:08:26.720
@Cfinley tried it now; worked fine. – Belmin Fernandez – 2015-04-29T15:15:51.373
Thanks. Now we know that it is the HDD or image causing the issue. – Cfinley – 2015-04-29T15:25:48.597
