hard drive cloned versions of Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04 boot error
I used Acronis True Image to make a cloned copy of my hard drive which has 3 Windows and 2 Ubuntu Linux installed on it. And when I do select that new hard drive clone with the boot menu, which I use the Windows boot manager and that EasyBCD configuration tool to add in Linux, it shows an error that says; "invalid partition table". So then I booted to the GParted CD which is the newer version, and used the Test Disk tool to check the partition table of the clone drive, and it was all looking good. On the original hard drive I have the Ubuntu grub 2 installed on 10.04 and 12.04 root partition and no issue to boot those Linux on that drive. So is there some fix ? The Windows are; XP, Vista, and 7.
Update to this issue. I re-created my Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04 boot entries in the utility Easy BCD from the original operating system in this computer, Vista. And from the internal hard drive Ubuntu I ran file system checks with that Disk Utility which shows okay. So now when I select the boot device from this store built 2009 desk top system boot menu to be the external esata cloned drive, that error message is gone, and it now boots to grub 2 when selected from the Windows Boot Manager, but then it just re-directs to boot the internal drive Ubuntu. The one sure way to really troubleshoot that cloned SATA hard drive which is in a external enclosure, is to disconnect my internal hard drive sata cable, then boot up the PC with only the clone drive connected, right ?

Certainly a good place to start. If the BIOS supports USB booting you might get started, but ISTR that Windoze (Vista) won't boot directly from USB. I could be wrong, but easy to test. Linux loaders (particularly grub{2}) are much more tolerant and IMHO better.
Cloning then attempting to use both drives like that is problematic as the Linux filesystems will have the same UUID - that's what was probably messing with the drive selection from the boot menu; Ubuntu uses UUID. With two copies connected, they are of course no longer unique.
I have that clone drive connected by eSATA which the computer detects the same as an internal sata hard drive. Since I did the clone as a replacement for a possible internal drive failure, which does has a few bad sections in the smart status, I should just keep it as a backup that will boot all 3 of the windows and the 2 Ubuntu Linux most likely when detected as the first drive, (sda), since with both drives that becomes sdb, the 2nd drive. Okay thanks then, and I am glad that it did not clone the bad sectors too. I can try to chainload to that clone external drive from the internal grub.
Since this issue is most likely with the UUID not matching correctly when booting the clone external drive, I ran that boot info script and here is that; Can I just copy and paste in the correct UUID # listed for my Ubuntu 10.04 on sdb6, and for 12.04 on sdb7, then into; /etc/grub.d/40_custom ? I had to delete some of this to shorten it to fit for posting.
