Missing Partitions on Grub Rescue [on hold]












0














I bought a new SSD for my laptop. I removed the disk reader and placed on its location with a caddy.
I cloned the important partitions to the SSD, as I want to have on it both Linux and Windows, and use the HDD only for file storage
Partitions now look like this:

Disk sdc is a GPartEd Live USB



Partition sdb4 was cloned from sda1, and sdb1 is a clone from sda1. sdb3 was cloned from a partition from sda which I deleted.



On BIOS, I have two boot options: Windows & Debian (GRUB). When I pick Debian, grub rescue launches and when I type ls I get this output: (hd0) (hd0,gpt1) (hd0,gpt2) (hd1)



I assume SSD is hd1, but as you can see it sais there are no partitions, which is weird. I already tried executing these commands:



sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/boot
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb


But without any success. Booting the Windows option in BIOS results in a successful Windows boot, but it loads the sda1 partition and not the sdb4, which is the one I want to load
