ubuntu boot problem


I have newly installed ubuntu 5.10 on my computer, and wish to install 2 other harddrives one for storage and on for a dual boot to win xp for my brother, now ubuntu works and boots fine, noramally, but as soon as i plug in my 120 GB storage drive grub freezes and will not boot ubuntu ( i am booting from a floppy) everythiong is set properly (jumpers, etc) i don't know what the problem is? all i am left with as a blank screen that says GRUB at the top witha flashing curser.

intel p4 3.0GHZ HT
1 GB ram
intel 865gbf mobo
40 GB maxtor
120 maxtor ( for storage)

like i said everythig works fine until i plug in the 120GB HD

Hi,
what file format is your 120Gb storage drive?
Make the proper entries to the /etc/fstab file and then connect the storage drive.
Regards
