Thanks for the response Ted,

Well, that's the weird thing Ted. BIOS only shows the external drive 
when plugged in, or the internal drive if the external is unplugged. 
BIOS shows the USB stick when it's plugged in. I've booted, I thought, 
from the external drive as shown in BIOS as the only option (as I wrote, 
when it's plugged in, in which case the internal SSD doesn't show up as 
a boot option.) In GParted I can see all the connected drives and though 
I think I'm using the external drive, I cannot unmount the internal 
drive. Since the drives have different descriptors (but maybe the same 
UUID from cloning) in the BIOS (again, only one shows at a time. The 
internal if the external isn't connected, or only the external if it is 
connected) it's easy to see which will boot. I think I've booted the 
external drive but with GParted I cannot unmount the internal drive as 
GParted says it is in use. So I think I've booted the external SSD but 
can't unmount the internal SSD. That makes no sense. I have no idea why 
both drives don't show up in BIOS but they don't. There is the option of 
replacing the internal SSD with the 1TB one and see what happens. I was 
hoping that I could upgrade the newly cloned external drive and making 
sure all is good before I start removing screws.

            <p>Hello All</p>
            <p>As a prelude, I am reaching capacity on my internal 256GB
              SSD and so am wanting to utilize the 1TB SSD I have. I'm
              running Ubuntu Mint on an ASUS 15" laptop, version 20.04.
              <br>
            </p>
            <p>I successfully cloned my 256GB SSD to a 1TB SSD. I used
              the entire space as one partition. When I check with
              GParted I see that is actually the fact. However when I
              boot the laptop with the 1TB SSD as a USB drive the
              machine boots from that drive automatically.  When I check
              the BIOS on booting I only see the 1TB SSD as a Boot
              option if it's connected as a USB drive, not the still
              installed 256GB SSD.  If I unplug the 1TB drive the laptop
              boots from the internal drive. In the BIOS I can see in
              each instance the specific drive (the 1TB USB drive or the
              internal 256GB drive) as the only option to boot as
              opposed to seeing the external 1TB drive and the internal
              drive and being able to choose.  Why the machine boots
              automatically from the plugged in 1TB USB drive is an
              unknown to me. At least the drive is cloned and will boot.
              Before I replace the internal drive I'd like to have that
              full 1TB available. If I can make that happen then I can
              upgrade the distro and replace the internal drive with it.
              Any ideas on how to get those almost 750GB on the 1TB
              drive to be accessible? </p>
            <p>Thanks for any help!</p>
