I have just installed 8.10a2 onto my second HDD (HDD2)so that i can play with it.
So far so good.
I need to somehow force 8.10 to search HDD1 so that I can play my video and music files. I havent had to do this before.
How do i force a search of HDD1?
HDD1 is the primary HDD
Cheers

Has it been recognized by the system and prompted you to tell it how to use the drive? If so it should index the drive automatically within a couple hours. If you want it to be done faster you can use the "media files sync" section in the web admin.

yep done.
hey you dont know how to edit the grub file do you. For some reason kgrub is installed but I cannot find the little bugger.
I want to edit it so that 8.10 is not the primary load. I want to keep the system on 7.10 for the moment so that the kids can just press the on button and it automagic start into there normal setup.
cheers

use any text editor (nano, vi, etc) to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
theres a line thats just "default" with a number after it, this number corresponds to the boot entry that will be chosen by default.

/boot may not be mounted so in that case: sudo mount /boot

/boot is not a separate filesystem with a default kubuntu or lmce install.
