Suppose that I have a machine and it runs into some severe problems and no longer functions, then to save the data and the environment I ripped the hard disk from the broken machine and plug it into a new bare machine with no hard disk. I cannot run it directly, but I don't know why and if I have any opportunity to save the soft system.

  • If you copied all the partitions, perhaps only grub is missing, you can try to restore it by following this answer – pim Nov 02 '17 at 12:03

    It should boot right up. If it does not it suggests the hard drive has failed or has problems. – Panther Nov 02 '17 at 15:21

As a first stage to recovering a crashed system I would suggest booting the new machine with a bootable USB or CD/DVD and taking a look at the contents of the recovered drives.

Here is a tutorial on making a bootable USB stick
