Hi all,
Recently I decided to take the risk to migrate my stable-enough quad boot (Mountain Lion and Win 8 on main disk 500 GB Samsung 840 SSD, Mavericks, Ubuntu 14.04, and Shared FAT32 storage on 1TB HDD in optical drive bay caddy) to a Clover-based triple boot on a new disk (1TB Crucial M550 SSD, with Mavericks, Win 8, and Ubuntu each having 1/3rd of the drive, the optical bay disk could then be dedicated to Shared storage).
The ProBook in question is a 4530s model.
Unfortunately the migration has not gone well at all. Considering the old setup was based on hybrid MBR/GPT and the new set-up is entirely GPT/UEFI, I knew it wasn't going to be easy.
However, I didn't expect it to go this badly. Mavericks was the only OS I was able to transfer over successfully. Despite having made a Win 8 image and Clonezilla USB key in hand, I could not for the life of me get either Win 8 or Ubuntu onto the new disk. Along the way, somehow grub on the original disk was messed up and I can no longer detect the Ubuntu install from either Chameleon or Clover.
After giving up initially, I ended up resorting to fresh installing Win 8.1 as UEFI install, and fresh installing Ubuntu 14.10. For now I am setting those aside and trying to fix the issues I'm having with Mavericks first.
With Mavericks, there are graphics glitches constantly on both the primary and extended monitor. I have selected all the correct settings in the Clover bootloader, reset the SMC, repaired permissions, and nothing seems to permanently fix the issue. I know that I have my work cut out for me with HD3000, but at this point I am committed to moving forward and not going back to my Chameleon-based setup. As a last resort I attempted to install SMCpingDaemon, but apparently it is already installed. Not sure if having it installed conflicts with having what I imagine to be a correctly configured DSDT.
Ideally the rest of the migration could go something like this:
1. Fix the Mavericks issues, and continue to transfer the Mountain Lion set-up I had over to Mavericks.
2. Find a way to get the Win 8 image I made into the 2nd partition I set up for it.
3. Find a way to get Ubuntu 14.04 onto the 3rd partition I set up for it, and upgrade to 14.10.
Thanks for any and all help.
