Hey forum,
Got a little bit of an issue here. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and just yesterday installed Kubuntu 10.10 on an external drive. Now it takes over 2 minutes to boot up (from a previous 15 seconds), I am only able to run one OS a power on can only run the other OS (starting from either) after I shut the computer down. If I just reset the computer it says that the drive I am looking for cannot be found.
In Grub2 both OSs show up as Ubuntu, but the actual Ubuntu seems to cycle through the HDs it says it's running from at the end of the title in Grub. Also, I cannot edit Grub2, which is the Grub I'm running on both OSs. For example, I tried editing the default startup OS and it just didn't take the change in either Terminal or Startup Manager.
Is there something I'm missing? I really don't want to have to do a clean install.
Also, if I unplug the external drive my computer is directed to the grub command line.
