I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a second HD (Dell Dimension 2400, with winXP on the main HD), but once the installation was complete and the computer was restarted, the boot process stalled out almost immediately, showing "error 21" in GRUB. From what I understand, that means GRUB can't find the second HD.
In an effort to fix it (following some suggestions I read elsewhere), I went into the startup menu and changed "slave hard drive" from "off" to "auto". That made things worse, as I started getting keyboard errors and it looked like I really f---ed things up. Thankfully I was able to get things back to where they were, but that still leaves the original problem.
S.O.S.
