Thanks for the Clonezilla tip, that got me going in the right direction!
I used Clonezilla to copy the partitions I wanted, then updated
/etc/fstab to hide the partitions that were no longer there, and ran
grub2-mkconfig. That got me booted... but...
The boot process was stopping at the same point it stops when I upgrade
the kernel and forget to install the matching kmod for my Nvidia card. I
couldn't figure out why that was happening since my regular desktop was
still working correctly. Then I remembered... oh, duh... there's no
Nvidia card in the box yet. *facepalm* LOL So, I put in an OLD Nvidia
card and was able to get to the desktop.
Now I need to get the HDD installed and the partitions renamed since the
SSD now uses the UUID's that the HDD had to begin with.
I still can't get the Windows 7 (NTFS) partition on the SSD to boot. I
can mount it from Linux, and grub2-mkconfig creates an entry for it, but
GRUB can't boot it. I've tried a couple of variations of settings when
cloning that partition, but haven't figured it out.
Everything I've found via Google has been "similar but not the same"
issues, which of course confuses me further. LOL
Any suggestions?
