[ubuntu] SSD + HDD slow startup

$

I have just installed a new SATA3 SSD on my desktop and the start up speeds are disappointing. I also have the old SATA2 HDD drive still connected and I was wondering if that drive is affecting the start up speeds?

The new SSD has Ubuntu 12.10 installed and it has the boot sector and the older HDD has Ubuntu 11.10 installed. I assume the old HDD still has a boot sector but is not used, I'm not really sure ...

I have set AHCI mode in the BIOS and the new SSD is connected to a lower channel number so I assume the SSD drive is read first which should be fast, but not sure.

The screen displays stuff and then Loading operating system and dots progress across the screen, slowly ...

The problem only appears to be at start up, once running application start up is quick as expected.

Is there any settings and/or checks I can make to ensure everything is working correctly.



I have SATA2 SSD on my laptop running Ubuntu 12.10 no problems ...
