Noob sez:

It's torture reading this thread! The agony of hindsight.

From an existing two-disk, two-OS dual-boot setup - and as a newcomer to Ubuntu - I followed the kindly (over-kindly?) advice - "if in doubt select all" - not because I was unaware of what the partition names mean, but because I had no idea Grub shouldn't be installed to the Windows disk. I mean it's my BIOS priority boot disk and Grub is the boot-loader: so why not?

I have been banging my head against this for a week, to no avail. I will now be patient, safe in the knowledge that those-who-know are getting prodded (I am adding my prod to both threads).
