Hi Everyone,
Just a quick line to tidy this up.
First though, thanks to everyone who replied with suggestions.
It was following up on these that led me to a workaround, if not a
solution as such.
Working on the basis that the GRUB install might have defaulted to the
wrong drive I decided to have another go at 12.04 and see what options
were on offer at that stage.
As it happens there were none other than the default on offer, so I
clicked on through expecting to encounter the same issue post-install
and was surprised when it didn't occur. I have absolutely no idea why,
but on the third attempt it worked. The only thing that comes to mind is
that I elected to manually partition it this time rather than picking an
off-the-peg solution, so maybe that had some bearing on it.
