<pre>Shouldn't be.
It'd be faster if you just removed it from the case & fitted it to the
PC, though.

I could remove the exernal drive but we use it back up files from the

<pre>other computer. We would lose that capability. We could do it with a usb
but much slower when doing a complete backup. We could do it via Samba but
a bit slow too.

<pre>the usb onto the external, stopped to ask this question, but somehow ubuntu
14.04 was installed on the external, in the partition we use for backup.
It boots to that partition unless I have the usb in! However, the usb has
been wiped completely clean! I just reinstalled 14.04 to it.

<pre>how to do that- grub rescue would not know to do that, would it?
No but bootrepair would <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair</a>
Click on advanced then grub options tab and select the device to install
grub onto!
Be sure not to purge your existing grub (it has a check box for that)
Note: boot-repair will boot via grml-rescue-boot (available in repos)
without burning to cd very handy feature that should be default on all
*buntu distros!
Hope this helps

How about if I erased the 14.04 files from the backup partition? Or could
I just change it in gparted from a boot partition and then use boot
repair? I will give that a try. This is a spare computer so no biggie
if I lose it all.
