Interesting trick ... connect it via SATA vs. USB. I suppose you have a chassis which allows for both.

In a morning-shower epiphany, I was going to suggest connecting your linux drive ONLY when you want to boot into it, and to tell the BIOS to boot off USB before booting off the IDE interface. You got this to work fine, but I add that tip for future comers.
