"man grub" yields nothing. I'm looking... First you have to tell it where the root of your boot stuff is. If you have a separate boot partition it would be this partition. If it is not separate, and is / then it would be there. Grub sees disks somewhat in the order that your bios sees them. So if you have one internal disk that is most likely hd0. So if the only other disk is the USB disk, then that would be hd1. Partitions start at 0. So if your /boot partition is the first partition on the USB disk it would be hd0,0. so at the grub prompt you would type: root (hd1,0) Then you have to tell grub to install itself to an MBR or boot record. This would then be the disk you want the system to load the boot loader from, not always the place where your kernel lives. In your case, you want it to use the internal disk for boot loader info, so this is most likely hd0. setup (hd0) It should find the stage1 and stuff and tell you. You can now quit. This is found in 'info grub' and selecting the Installation section, followed by the 3.2 Installing GRUB natively. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub)
