I have had the same situation several times, but successive retries have proven fruitful. I don't know why it fails some times and not others. I haven't been able to boot from the SATA drive installed on, though. The computer just doesn't see the drive or partition, even though its active and flagged. Ubuntu shows the drive and all the folders installed by Zephyroth's 10.5.2 installer. If I disconnect the other drive, the computer won't get past the BioStar splash screen.
