Adrien:

I do not fully understand yet what has happened.  My "NEW" old tower 
recognized all of my drives I pulled from the blown up computers, then 
poof, the new computer suddenly doesn't recognize them anymore (all of 
the ssd boot drives).  I got lucky tonight and found the drive for my 
Ubuntu server or I would not be responding.

If I cannot get the sata drive from my laptop back up and running then I 
am screwed for taxes (Stupid me I forgot to backup 2022). I can still do 
the book keeping from here if I can keep Ubuntu up and running (except 
that some of the financial institution ID an passwords that are on a 
windowze drive).  Much easier under__Ubuntu and a work station.  
Unfortunately for me, the tax software is on a windozs drive that I can 
no longer access.
_
_I have not tried using a VM, as this tower suddenly decided that 
several of my drives no longer exist.

How would I move it to a VM?
