That sounds a lot like my Dell Vostro 3360 at the office, apart from the fact that it doesn't have Windows (anymore, I zeroed both disks ;-). > Actually, when installing linux, they are seen as two drives, sda and > sdb.

I vaguely remember something about not being able to "use" my SSD but forgot the details. Whatever they were, letting dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4M run until it complained about no disk space left fixed it for me. Of course, if you want to keep that other OS around, that's not really an option but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Just a thought, I may also have fiddled with the BIOS to make it boot from the SSD before trying the HDD and made sure I installed GRUB in the MBR of the SSD.
