i not sure have answer thinking subject other day when looking @ ssds in computer shop.

suggest examine bios set program machine. seems logical boot process first @ sata port 1 before looks @ sata 2, 3, etc. think can set boot order in bios.

next if boot ubuntu (12.04) on ssd , run

code:
sudo update-grub
both disk drives connected, script run search operating systems on drives. configure boot menu put in ubuntu (12.04) on ssd.

then, when boot bios should first ssd , find grub boot menu list 3 operating systems have in machine.

how reason out.

regards.
