I have ubuntu 10.04 and Win7 on one hard drive. I installed ubuntu 12.10 on second hard drive, everything seemed fine (it asked me to install alongside old OSs), installation completed and asked me to restart.
Even though 12.10 got installed, when booting, the old grub (with options only for old OSs) appears, so I can't boot to new ubuntu. I've tried changing the boot device to the second hard drive, but then only a message "not bootable drive" or sth like that appears, no grub.
Any ideas where did new grub go to? :D
Can grub load from different hard drives?
Just in case, here's the output of fdisk-l (just to see the mess there is:)
