i'm putting ubuntu on brand new 2tb hard drive. right have 200gb partition , swap partition , ... recieve error bootloader.

after little investigation, *think* bootloader located on ssd on 100mb partition that's flagged 'boot' according gparted. there's partition on hdd has boot flag, contains win8 dev preview, don't think one's active boot, because see black-and-white text bootloader typically, not graphical win8 one.
