Hi :)  

I suspect you have done the same as me, the same as the last thread in this 
list (which i didn't quite understand but suspect i just need to re-read 
sometime).  The SSD is formatted using a GPT table rather than something 
unsuitable for SSDs?  


What i tried was booting into my old OS and then got  to a command-line and  
tried

sudo update-grub

Now i can completely successfully boot into any of the OSes on my old drive.  
There is even a listing for the new drive but when i try to use that one the 
machine fails to boot up.  


So, i unplugged the old drive and left the new one in.  A LiveCd session 
allowed me to reinstall (or install) Grub 2.  So now if i have the old Sata 
Drive plugged in i get all my old OSes but if i unplug it i get the new one.  
Annoyingly the new one forces me into Mega Glest rather than regular Glest so 
i'm quite happy staying with the old one.  


I do have a feelign that if i just set-up a small partition at the front of the 
SSD to dedicate to being a boot-partition and install Grub2 to that then i 
could have both but i think i would probably still be booting into the old OS!

Regards from
Tom :)
