Hello Mihai,
Bear in mind that while the issue was manifesting it wasn't actually
POSTing, and even if it were GRUB-related I would expect to see some
sort of error to that effect. Add to that it did the exactly the same
with two installs on two different hard drives and it seems unlikely
that it was down to bad luck, too. Normally I wouldn't rule out
incompetence either, but I've installed Linux enough times now to
hopefully know what I am doing!
Anyway, 10.04 has been downloaded and is ready to go, so let's see what
happens there!
