I installed Ubuntu today for the first time on a Dell desktop running Windows XP sp3.
I opted to install on a second hard drive, following these instructions:

When I reboot my computer, and enter the boot sequence menu in BIOS, there isn't even an entry for my second hard drive.
Hello - My apologies if this is posted somewhere, but I really need some help... I'm brand new to the Linux world and have been trying to get my system properly set up for the best possible Ubuntu installation for a while now.
I have a computer with 3 hard drives on it. I have Ubuntu 12.04 on my newest and biggest hard drive and Windows XP on my 2nd hard drive and a old version of Ubuntu 7.04 on the third hard drive.
Everything was working perfectly and I was using Grub to choose between the different systems.

Hi, I have a strange problem with regards to the system time.
I am situated in Mumbai, India, which is +5.30 hours time zone (no daylight savings). I have windows xp installed on one hard drive and Ubuntu 12.10 installed on the other hard drive (installed each OS disconnecting the other hard drive; Use the boot menu using F12 to boot into each OS).
I cannot boot into Linux or Windows now.
I did the boot repair but every time I turn my computer on it goes to Windows then into recovery mode and I went through that and it still brings me back.
I can only get in Ubuntu through the live disc.
This is my paste:
Boot Info Script 0.61.full + Boot-Repair extra info [Boot-Info August 2nd 2012]

Well I have a netbook, so I can't play games on windows either, no problem. But I'm getting a new desktop PC with better hadware and it will be able to run the most popular games and I want to have Windows on it to play games and software not compatible with ubuntu. I also want to have Ubuntu, as my primary OS, so I will set a dual boot.
Hi,
So, I want to install Ubuntu (Desktop) on my computer but there is something I need to make sure before I do that.
I'm currently running windows 7. It is installed on a 500GB hard drive.
