Today's report:
I set the large HDD to boot sequence 3 then moved it to two and the smaller HDD to 3. When I rebooted the PC, it went straight to LL. I ran the lsblk commend and got:
alistair@alistair-MS-6702:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 232.9G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 62.7M 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 229.8G 0 part
└─sda3 8:3 0 3G 0 part
sdb 8:16 0 57.3G 0 disk
├─sdb1 8:17 0 22.4G 0 part
├─sdb2 8:18 0 1K 0 part
├─sdb5 8:21 0 21.6G 0 part
├─sdb6 8:22 0 1.8G 0 part [SWAP]
└─sdb7 8:23 0 11.5G 0 part /
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
alistair@alistair-MS-6702:~$
When I closed down, the PC shut down. It had not been doing this before when I closed down LL running from the DVD.
When booting I noticed a menu flash by and when restarted again I stopped it at this screen. It is "GNU GRUB version~beta2-9ubuntu1.3". This menu offered XP startup from both HDDs. Neither works. The screen just goes black.
If I do nothing at this GNU GRUB menu, the PC goes straight to LL.
Should I now return the smaller HDD to boot sequence 2, disconnect the large HDD and follow your instructions for deleting the partitions and reinstalling LL?
