I have an external hard disk drive, a SEAGATE expansion 1TB, you can take it a look here: http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/portable-hard-drives/standard/expansion-portable/ As you can see this is not a flash usb hard drive, http://askubuntu.com/questions/327229/installing-ubuntu-in-a-external-hard-drive-and-not-placing-grub-of-my-c-hard-dr it is a USB hard disk drive. What I want to do is installing Ubuntu in this external hard disk drive... BUT NOT PLACING THE GRUB ON MY C: DRIVE. In other words, I don't want to see the GRUB splash Window asking me every single time if I want to load Windows or Linux. I want my PC turn on or restart and go directly to Windows... BUT... I want to have Linux in my external USB hard disk drive How do I want to load Ubuntu then? Easy, when I restart my computer or just start it... in ASUS mother boards I have the possibility to select the boot device by pressing F8, and I get the boot menu. I want to turn on my computer, press F8, my mother board ask me what drive I want to use to load the Operating Sytem, I select the USB external hard disk drive where do I have Ubuntu, and bingo, I run Ubuntu. When I finish to use Ubuntu, I close it and turn off my computer. Later, I turn on my computer, and if I don't press F8, automatically load the hard disk drive C: and load Windows. My q

I told the installer to install GRUB on a hard disk error USB stick (12 GB FAT32 Partition) In the first attempt, when rebooting I got the error message attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd2', which is the USB stick I guess. In the second attempt, even the installation of GRUB failed. What did I wrong? My system is a dell inspiron 6000, and I'd like to maintain simple windows boot with the built-in hard disk. I installed a second HD in the dvd bay, and my idea was to boot from that HD with GRUB on a USB stick. When I remove the stick, the system will boot windows without loading GRUB at all. dual-boot grub2 partitioning system-installation share|improve this question edited May 12 '14 at 12:57 Elder Geek 11.4k52358 asked May 5 '14 at 21:57 user278373 1 are you installing as a stand alone system or dual boot? Please help us help you by providing more information. For example this question is tagged dual-boot but there is no mention of what other OS you are trying to boot. It would also help to know what hardware you are installing on, above and beyond the partition info you've provided. Thanks! –Elder Geek May 5 '14 at 22

GRUB Hard Disk Error Hi I installed CentOS 5.7 on an USB stick today using netinstall from another USB stick. Installation worked fine and was successful. But when I try to boot from it I just get "GRUB Hard Disk Error" and nothing else. Boot priority is correct and I put GRUB on the correct drive during installation. Using a ZOTAC ZBOX SD-ID12. Anyone with a clue?
