Hi, I've got a question.
I've installed Ubuntu several times on my Desktop computer which has a single 500 GB hard disk. I have always had problems, because I use the computer a lot for several purposes, including research, so I have many partitions. I have several Windows intallations.
The problem is that I also format the Windows partitions from time to time. The thing is that Ubuntu installs the GROOB loader, but when I reinstall Windows on another partition GROOB gets lost.
Summing it up, as I format Ubuntu and/or Windows usually, I have always had problems.
My question is this: If I use two independent hard disks, and I use the BIOS to choose from which of them start, and I use one disk for Windows partitions and the other for Ubuntu partitions, would each disk have its own loader (the first, the Windows loader, and the second, GROOB), so that I would stop having my problems?
Thank you guys.
