[ale] why Linux hurts/disappoints me more than once

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

Friends:

Please clarify/educate me on this please.

My set up is

HD1 is a 1TB Hitachi drive on which I first installed Windoze(it is still
there).  In the Linux world it is /dev/sda
HD2 is a 1TB Hitachi drive on which I am trying to install Ubuntu
Server/Debian in that order (install works for debian but wont work after
that).

Since it is a 1TB drive, I have to install  LVM(which the installer provides
in guided partitioning) I am assuming.

In the GRUB world, where does the GRUB or the initial menu piece get
installed to ?  The /dev/sda or the /dev/sdb ?

Also how does LVM fit into this scenario ?

Please educate.
