(sorry, newbie warning!)
I was daily driving Manjaro.
The install was on my 1st SSD with all the standard partitions. (efi, boot, root)
Then I installed Fedora40 KDE Spin on a 2nd new and larger ssd.
I think i left everything on standard with the partitions in the GUI installer.
When booting the UEFI didn’t show the new Fedora, only old Manjaro.
Then I had to manually change the booting sequence in the BIOS to move the new SSD infront of UEFI.
I should have already realised it at this moment, but didn’t understand!
When changing the boot priority to the new 2nd ssd, GRUB shows up with both Fedora and Manjaro.
1 week later I realize that I did create a mess and now I want to clean it up.
There is only boot and root on the new SSD.
I had CSM (Compatibility Support Module) active because of old stuff.
Is there a way to easily solve this mess without complete reinstallation?
I would love to stay on Fedora and wipe the 1st SSD because I don’t have a use for Majaro anymore.
Thanks for your help!
Edit1 for more Info:
Checked with
dmesg | grep "BIOS
[ 0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[ … ]

So, I have a non EFI System?
Edit2
I am starting to check here.
$ [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS
BIOS
sudo parted -l
shows that the drive is gpt. Finally something positive.
