[SOLVED] Question about adding an ssd to system

[horusfalcon]

This looks like it's been solved a while, but I have a question about the solution:

This can be done from a live boot, yes?  It looks as though some sort of Linux console has to be available to implement it...

If I'm right in suspecting this, it could prove a useful tool for system recovery.

Yes, provided it has Grub available on it.

Not necessarily Linux.
All is needed is an instance of Grub available.

It could be on a floppy, CD or other media.
Provided the media booted and made Grub available it can be run and installed.

Although I don't remember making use of them, there are Grub4DOS and WinGrub too, as well as the Grub we use on Linux.

Even better!  Yeah, I'll have to play with this some more... looks like a very useful tool for these purposes.  Thanks!
