Yeah, I remember those days.

Are you wanting to dual boot?

If not, I think you can go into your BIOS and tell it to boot from that
drive.

Of course, one thing I know is that Ubuntu 20 now apparently makes entries
into the BIOS/EFI area. I'm not sure whether that throws a wrench into
things. A friend of mine had some trouble with this, and I think he ended
up restoring his BIOS from a backup. However, the setup screen - I would
think it'd let you modify this, if needed.
