I brought a 240GB SSD and installed in my laptop using HDD Caddy. After that I cloned my previous Ubuntu partition to new SSD partition following MovingLinuxPartition blog. After following steps I restarted laptop as suggested but ended up with Black screen with no message.

Then I followed same procedure but till step 4. I restarted laptop, this time I was able to boot into new SSD ubuntu partition. I deleted old partition from normal HDD as everything was working fine. But as soon as I again restarted system, Grub rescue> prompt showed up saying attempt to read and write outside of "hd1". I googled it and found this answer that couldn't solve the issue.

When I ran :

grub rescue> ls (hd1,1)/

it gives me list of files as usual, but running:

grub rescue> ls (hd1,1)/boot/

gives same message attempt to read and write outside of "hd1".

Edit

I have generated boot-info report using boot-info tool. Report is here

I am stuck here, I searched a lot but unable to find solution.

Please help me.

Even after doing fresh Ubuntu install on SSD didn't work.

Then I thought of swapping of Internal HHD and SSD (that i inserted into HDD Caddy). After swapping just a normal boot-repair worked perfectly.

Then I thought, May be, we can't have Ubuntu bootable in external HDD installed in HDD Caddy. But before swapping to HDDs i did a fresh install in internal HDD too that is working even with HDD Caddy. TO be sure I don't really know the exact issue on it. But what i really know is Putting SSD in internal HDD slot worked.
