Please Help Me

Hello and Good Evening,

1st...

I had a Computer With 80 GB SATA HDD. So I recently Upgrade to ubuntu 14.4LTS. But Somehow My PC is Going to be Shutdown.

2nd

I bought a New Computer Which is AMD APU, MSI Motherboard where 250 SATA HDD with Windows 8.1 Installed. So now I took the 80 GB SATA HDD From my old PC which Loaded With Ubuntu 14.4 LTS and Installed In my New Computer But When I tried to Make the Ubuntu HDD first piority for boot in BIOS but only shows one USB HDD and Primary Windows HDD.

But I seleted USB HDD Thought It would be UBUNTU but when I boot it goes to Windows Directly I did Many Changes But Nothing.

I'm a little confused about which hard drive is usb and which isn't, but if it were me I'd try to install a fresh Ubuntu onto whichever HD is physically inside the new computer (not a fan of USB HD's for a system drive, not as reliable it seems). Using a Ubuntu live iso/cd/usb, and with the old USB HD not even plugged in.

Then with the new Ubuntu in the new HD & new computer working, you could move your $HOME from the old drive onto the new Ubuntu (if you want to keep your old settings).

Here's a quick guide to copying an old home folder to a new one, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving#Copy_.2BAC8-home_to_the_New_Partition It's basically copy the files with the same permissions & owner (but the owner can be changed with chown later anyway). A file manager like Nautilus or Thunar or any one should work fine instead of rsync too.

Plugging an old HD (with an old OS) into a new computer doesn't always work, the hardware differences could be too great. (An 80GB HD could be from a 10 year old single cpu computer, the AMD APU's are 3 years old or so & could be 8 core?)

And this page has info on migrating Ubuntu from one HD to a new HD, only on the same computer. It might work for your case, but because of the hardware changes it may not be ideal https://askubuntu.com/a/40454/129271
