Hi there I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what to do with this issue, I had windows 10 installed on my 2017 macbook pro’s internal ssd previously and i wanted to move it over to a seagate slim 500GB ssd, which already contains a linux ubuntu 18.04 OS partition. I created an winclone image from the bootcamp partition successfully, however i run into several issues when trying to restore it to my external ssd. My external ssd contains these partitions:
/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.1 GB disk2
1: Linux Swap 17.2 GB disk2s1
2: Apple_HFS Ubuntu Boot Loader 1.1 GB disk2s2
3: Linux Filesystem 225.5 GB disk2s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data EFI BOOT 8.6 GB disk2s4
5: Microsoft Basic Data NO NAME 247.8 GB disk2s5
Where the last partition is intended for bootcamp, partitioned as FAT-32.
When i try to use the image restore, it reaches 90% completion but stops with the following error message:
2019-12-21T13:03:11+08:00:Extracting file data, 90.000000% complete
2019-12-21T13:03:11+08:00:Done applying WIM image.
2019-12-21T13:03:14+08:00:Error mounting EFI on disk /dev/disk2
Ive also attempted to use the
make EFI bootable functionality on my ssd as well, with the 90% completed bootcamp partition but it doesn’t seem to work and throws another error:
2019-12-21T14:26:58+08:00:Error mounting efi: /dev/disk2
2019-12-21T14:26:58+08:00:Helper tool error: EFI Path Error

When performing these, I’ve disabled csrutil and I do not have any antivirus installed as suggested by others who have resolved similar issues. I’m also not very familiar with moving operating systems and bootable drives, so I’m not too sure if what I’ve done is right. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
