Rescuezilla with HP laptop Ubuntu 22.04//Dell laptop Kubuntu 22.04


Rescusezilla worked perfectly on my HP laptop but fails to ID the source disk on the Dell. After searching Ubuntu community websites and having checked my Dell BIOS for some kind of fix...to no avail. So thats why I'm here scratching my head wondering what else can I do to get the source disk to be found during rescuezilla bootup. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your reply.

What's on the 'source' disk? Is it a bootable disk or data? Is the disk recognized in the BIOS? Does it show up using fdisk or parted or similar software? Are you trying to copy from/to the disk? How old is the disk?

thanks yancek for your reply

Source is Dell kubuntu >> WD external drive. It is listed in KDE partition manager. Im attempting to clone HD Kubuntu to external WD 1TB. Rescuezilla works perfectly on my HP laptop, but so far no joy with Dell laptop.

More specifics, what is the point of failure? 'no joy' is not informative.

When rescuezilla scans for installed drives it doesn't find the source. The external drive and USB (rescuezilla). Unable to select source drive...exit program.

Latest version ?.
What is the disk in question - NVME, m.2 ...? Maybe the code doesn't recognise it - I'd talk to the dev.
