Ummm, that would be really weird, how do you boot grub from the HDD using the advanced mode? I mean, what keys do you press? > It seems like mbr fails to load the first partition. Well... I'd like to know what is on your HDD (where is that grub installed, partition table? that would be hd0) and what boot program do you have on the primary partition of the USB (I mean, what's on the FAT mbr that our mbr is supposed to call?) Any other info you can give us? Regards... -- Manty/BestiaTester -> http://manty.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
