[Gllug] Multiple systems, multiple disks

[David Reed]

Last week, trying to puzzle out why I was unable to install Ubuntu on to 
a second hard disk in my current box, I took Tet’s point, that it was a 
‘BIOS boot order problem’ (Discovery Day, 12/11) and poked around in the 
BIOS set up, provoking the beast (not Tet) into recognising the two IDE 
hard disks on the system. But even when these two were recognised by the 
system, my attempts to install Ubuntu still met with failure. The 
process got as far as the reboot moment and then took a sharp left and 
offered me either SuSE 10 or XP, both of which are already installed on 
the SATA disk, sda1, and well embedded in GRUB.
I will be happy to furnish the necessary technical context for anyone 
keen to help.
