I'm trying to run Kubuntu on my dell dimension 3100.
I install it on a ide hard drive attached as a slave in CDROM ide port/connection.
The installation goes w/o any problem.
however when I try to reboot, the kubuntu installation is not being recognized. This is the cae even when I adjust the boot sequence in the bios to be first one to boot from the ide drive.
the problem doesn't go away even if I disconnect my SATA drive. I just the response back indicating there is no boot drive.
Here is what sudo fdisk command outputs!

As you can see the kubuntu installation is in the smaller HD.
What am I doing wrong.
Thanks
