Set up:
2 hard drives:
1. Toshiba: Windows installed ~128 Gb
2. ATA: Empty ~ 1 Tb
Burn an Ubuntu iso to a USB
In installation, you will have to define 3 partitions
1. Root partition
Size; As much as you wish
Use as: ext4 journaling file
Mount to /
2. Linux Swap
Size: Same as RAM
Use as: swap
3. EFI
Use as EFI
Size: ~280 Mb
I chose the empty drive to install Ubuntu (ATA)
After clicking next, you might have a problem 'Cannot install Grub2 this is a fatal error'

Instructions to solve:
1. Reboot without USB plugged in
2. Ubuntu will open, in Terminal type
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair boot-repair
Follow instructions in the source link above.
Now Ubuntu should work through grub on the drive it is installed on (ATA).
