    Hello everyone,
    I cloned a 1TB Mint 13 drive PROPORTIONALLY larger onto a 3TB drive.

    Just wondering what I need to do to get the 3TB drive to boot?


    Thank You,

    Hi Mrk,
    After cloning, the cloned drive would not boot. Could you please explain "Connect it?"


    Thank you!

    Technically, if there weren't errors/bugs in the program, it should boot. Is the new drive set as the primary boot drive in bios?

    Yes the new drive is set as the primary boot drive in bios but still does not boot.

    Ironically, I was burning the Boot-Repair-Disk while you were posting this.

    I ran the CD and PROBLEM SOLVED!


    Thank You!
