I have two HDDs.

  • First HDD has four partitions with Windows XP in the first partition
  • Second has two partitions and 15GB unallocated space.

I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS in the second HDD by using Unallocated space.
I tried for 6 times. Each time it got installed, but after first restart, it directly boots Windows XP in the first HDD and no boot options appear. Every time I found that the Ubuntu installation used unallocated space and made two partitions one EXT3 and other Linux swap.

I don't know what went wrong. During Installation, Ubuntu detected Windows XP. Can anybody help me?

Change your boot device in BIOS to the second drive. This should cause GRUB to boot, and RUB will boot Ubuntu. I don't know if you can boot the other drive from GRUB.

this may be because you can't see the options due to default grub screen resolution problem!! For this when boots and shows black screen just press up arrow five to six times and then press enter. You may able to boot ubuntu... then to change the graphical boot property just install grub customizer and customize your grub...
