RPI4 + HDD(retropie) cloning

[KrinaSam]

Hi
I have a rpi4 + hdd 1 tb (usb-sata adapter) with retropie. I need to clone the current disk to another 1tb disk. I did cloning with gparted (linux) Etcher (windows), but rpi4 does not boot. Does anyone know what else I should do to get the cloned disk to boot?

How exactly did you clone it ? gparted will partition a drive, but does not do any cloning/filesystem.

@mitu gparted has partition copying function.

If gparted partitioned the new drive, the ID of the / partition (2nd Linux partition) will be different.

In this case, check the partition IDs:

• the /boot/cmdline.txt contains a line where the root partition ID is entered, needs to be set correctly.
• in the Linux partition cloned, check /etc/fstab and see if partition id for the / partition is also correct.

You can find out the partition IDs using the blkid command on Linux, when the drive is attached.

EDIT: if gparted was used for cloning, what did you use Etcher for ?

@mitu I used Eatcher also for cloning, I wanted to try out all the possibilities.
source disk:

destination disk:

as you said partuuid are different . I changed partuuid into cmdline and fstab and it works. the drive starts up with no problem.
Thank you for your help!!! You are the master!!!
