Currently I have 2 HDDs:
/dev/sda
/dev/sda1 ntfs
Free space
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1
All of the install procedures don't seem to include a how-to for a dual drive PC.
Should the /dev/sda (currently only for Windows) be the "Device for boot loader installation"?
I already have a pre-existing Ubuntu install which needs to be reinstalled but I don't know how to proceed.
7 hours later, thoughts, experience from a noob. YMMV. Thanks for answer to my question Fabby.
Using the revert key on the partitioning screen always caused an error not necessarily immediately. Had to reboot from cd 15 mins, and delete to correct, then start over.
Before I saw Fabby's answer, installing 'boot' on your second drive didn't work for me, though one of the links indicated otherwise. It might work, but as advised installing boot on sda
Even though boot loader is installed on sda, a boot partition is still needed on sdb
Success in less than a day. It was beautiful looking outide too.
Yes, your first drive (/dev/sda) should be set as the device for the boot loader installation.
Make a full system backup before proceeding! (You've been promoted to user type 4)
