I've got 2 questions.
1. Will Ubuntu see my IDE HD? I have it hooked up via a Paradise Ultra66 IDE card. I want to install it on the IDE HD.
2. Can I stash my GRUB files (menu.1st, device.map, etc) on the IDE HD, while installing GRUB on the MBR of my SATA HD? Or do I have to put a /boot partition on my SATA disk?
I'm asking all this before I install Mint 7 (sorry I'm abandoing Ubuntu) so that my PC won't get all screwed up.
