Overview of installing SSDs under Ubuntu under no reload system

A Want to give their own machine to install a solid state, but do not want to re-install the system, a variety of configurations, it is necessary to first copy their system from HDD to SSD, here is my case. My HDD is 500G ubuntu system, when installed without partition, the default is dev/sda1 is the boot partition, accounting for 500MB,/DEV/SDA2 is the file system, accounting for 400GB. My solid-state is 120G. (DEV/SDB1), the first is to remove the optical drive, and then buy an optical disk drive bay, the SSD installed in the location of the CD-ROM.

Two Here I use the Clone tool is Clonezilla live, learned to Clonezilla live (http://clonezilla.org/fine-print-live-doc.php?path=./ Clonezilla-live/doc/03_disk_to_disk_clone/10-clone-finishes.doc#10-clone-finishes.doc) is from the small Disk to large Disk rules, so I have to make/dev/sda2 small or solid general to use Clonezilla live. Another tool is being used here, called GParted Live (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/)

Three First of all to do a boot tool, with USB or CD all line, here I use USB, enter http://tuxboot.org/, create the Live tool (http://tuxboot.org/download/), The tuxboot then supports Clonezilla and GParted, using Tuxboot to install GParted on bootable USB (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ liveusb.php), and then restart, F12 Select USB boot, enter GParted live/DEV/SDA2 partition, here I put 400G to/dev/sda2 left 100G, left 300G points out, so/dev/sda2 than SSD The/DEV/SDB1 is small.

Four You can now use the original HDD into the system, install a gparted tool, and then look at the SSD is now a few partitions, preferably/DEV/SDB1 is the primary partition, accounting for 100-110g, used to wait for the system, there is a/dev/sdb2 about 300MB, 200 is OK, Used to put boot partition (the format is Fat32,flag Boot,label is EFI). Then use the Tuxboot tool to make another USB Clonezilla live boot tool, the same operation as GParted, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ liveusb.php, of course, you use the same USB also OK, after installation, or restart U disk start, the next step, choose Partition clone to Partion,clone can be.

Five Clone good, still can not start the SSD, because the system has not been booted, the previous step should be set up 300MB boot partition, now need an Ubuntu live usb/cd, is to download an ubuntu ... iso file, burn to disc, or made bootable USB. You need to remove the HDD, then put the SSD in the original HDD location, start Ubuntu Live, choose try Ubuntu without install, enter the system after installing Boot-repair (https://help.ubuntu.com/ Community/boot-repair), select Recommanded Repair, the prompt after successful, you can start the system with an SSD, all operations completed. Enjoy the speed of SSD!

PS: This is my installation process, small white one, may not be the best, if you have a better solution, welcome to share!
