Been using Ubuntu on a Dell 6000 for some time and have just purchased a Dell 1747 with Win 7 on a 500gb SATA HDD. Installed a 2nd 120gb SATA hdd with Ubuntu 10 and changed Boot sequence in F12 to load Ubuntu..........
Problem is ....it always boots into Win 7 ???.. Can anyone Help ?.
Looked through all threads and google it but can't find a solution. Any help would be appreciated. Would like to keep separate HDD and load into OS via F12 boot sequence or if possible, on start up menu.
