[QUOTE="mac57, post: 255440, member: 17052"] Thanks Logan, I will try this. It does give me a shiver though. I once had a Linux installer stuff GRUB onto my boot sector without even asking me first, wiping out my ability to boot Windows, which was dual booted on the same PC. I ended having to re-install Windows, which was no fun, I can tell you. Does the Ubuntu installer offer you a choice of where to place your boot loader, or in fact not place one at all? I would HATE to see it trash my ability to boot OS X. I would want the boot loader to go onto the first sector of the second drive where I was installing Ubuntu, not the first sector of the first drive. Do I have that option? [/QUOTE]
