I can boot up but I get a lot of warnings.
the first warning is in GRUB that the device GRUB is looking for does not exist.
I tried to install bootlogd to get all the messages to post but installing from the synaptic package manager
running apt-get install bootlogd gives me these messages

or if that is not possible is there some way to transfer my whole system (installed packages, settings and files) to an SSD ?
If all else fails I still have an extra spare HDD (exactly the same as the failing one) that I can use but I would prfer the SSD.
thank you very much.
