Well, can you boot the system? I guess not.
No, it gives the error as of above.
sdc2 and sdc5 are extrange. :-? This is easily explained. The Acronis Software for windows is a backup programm that creates a proprietary formatting on the disk and compresses data with it. Therefore only Acronis Software can access this system backup. Linux certainly can not nor can grub.

There are problems with sde. Well, that I am subscribing without hesitations. I should not even have an sde disc!
Boot an openSUSE live system. Mount sdb6 on /mnt, for instance.
Well, this is a main problem, how to find a openSUSE live system as AFAIK, leap does not have one. If I take TW I am not sure a) that it exists b) that it will be compatible , TW is quite far from current leap 42.3. Would live DVD of Mageia do.... I do not know that either.
Do: mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
cd /mnt chroot /mnt yast (text mode)
O.K. up to here I am with you. Just will need the live DVD.
navigate to the section on boot, and change the configuration to be correct: install generic MBR on sdb, install grub in "/dev/sdb3", mark it bootable (it already is), install grub files in /dev/sdb6
Is this the yast menu point: "personalized boot partition"?
More or less, I know how to do it but not from memory.
Notice that grub has to be installed "partially" in the extended partition, and the files in a logical partition.
This part I do not understand. How would I do this?
Alternatively, backup and install fresh in sdb telling Yast to take the entire disk, without a NEW home partition. Use the existing one in sdd1. I would probably do this, to reuse that unused space.
You also have to tell the bios to boot from the second disk.

I think once I manage to do all this, it would be nice to migrate only linux to a new ssd and then to format and reuse the former system disc. But I do not know if this is possible to do this without a fresh install. (it is just that he has a lot of specific graphics programms installed (believe it or not, he is using blender and other programs. So I would like to avoid to have to search for all programms installed again. P.S. thank you for your help.
