UPDATE: As an addendum to my above comment about closing the drive door during boot to make U-10.10 based distros recognize the drive;
I am now able to boot just fine into either 32 bit or 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10 based distros. I am no longer having to keep a disk in the drive, or having to close the drive door during boot, to facilitate drive recognition and proper boot function. Apparently, booting several times with a disk (I used an DVD movie) in the drive, closing the drive door during boot, and then updating the program, fixes whatever was causing the problem. All now works flawlessly and like it should. So, until a fix is found for this bug, once again here are the steps you can try that worked for me. Note, that I have a dual boot setup with Win7, but it should work the same for any setup: 1. With computer on and booted, insert a CD or DVD (movie, songs, etc.) into the drive. Reboot computer. 2. As computer is rebooting, and just before the GRUB2 menu appears asking you to select which OS you want, open the CD/DVD drive door. Then, select the Ubuntu 10.10 distro in GRUB2, and hit enter. As you do this, close the CD/DVD drive door. Booting should now proceed normally. 3. Once into the program, check to make sure the drive is recognized and operates properly. If so, proceed to download and install all program updates. That's all there is to it. I noticed I had to do the above procedure (with the exception of the updating) a couple of times, before all worked properly. I now no longer have to insert a disk, etc., and all works as it should.
