I'm first posting here because it is mainly a Ubuntu question.
I'm going to be purchasing a new HDD for my comp so that I can have a dedicated Win (7/Vista/XP) and a dedicated Ubuntu drive. The new HDD (for Win) is nothing intensive, a relatively small (160 GB) at 7200 RPM. I'm just too cheap to get a SSD or a 10000 RPM drive
. I'm mainly using the Win HDD for games, iTunes (because it seems syncing in Linux requires jailbreak), and Adobe CS4. Ubuntu HDD- everything else, including movie and music playback, surfing, and all document storage.
Will GRUB be able to boot from this new HDD, and if so how will I be able to add it (automaticaly or "sudo gedit /etc...")
Or will I have to edit the BIOS to access the new HDD
