[Bug 1050444] Re: 12.04 LST dualboot on SSD, grub not installed right

[pareshkumar brahmbhatt]

Suggestion: please check which sata port the SSD uses. If the SSD is in
a slot that is subsequent to the HDD, then the boot will be installed on
HDD (sata0 or sda). You may have to select "custom" option and select
the correct drive. This can all be avoided if the SSD is in sata0 port.
The sata port information can be found in BIOS, and if not, then look on
the motherboard for small words near the SATA port. That's my guess
which I came up with only becuase I flipped through BIOS and noticed
that I had the drives plugged in weird. So I did custom install, and the
default selected drive was my HDD.

Title:
  12.04 LST dualboot on SSD, grub not installed right

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was having some problems installing Ubuntu 12.04 LST alongside Windows 7.
  Installation of Ubuntu went fine, but after rebooting the system booted straight into Windows without any choice of OS. I tried the installation twice, once choosing the Install alongside Windows 7 option and once setting up the partitions myself (same result). I managed to fix the problem using Boot-Repair live CD using the automated repair option.
  I have two discs:
  SSD (for windows and Ubuntu)
  HDD (other data)
