Dereck, That would be a long story. Ubuntu hijacked the MRB of the main hard drive of my computer even though I was installing it on another drive. When Ubuntu couldn't load on the USB drive because I didn't unmount it first, the computer and the USB hard drive became unusable. I received a GRUB error when I tried to boot the computer. I Gparted and formatted the USB drive to ntfs. I found that Dell provided an MBR fix .iso image that can be put on a cd. That restored my MBR and fixed the GRUB error. With the hard drive and the USB drive restored, Ubuntu installed flawlessly on the unmounted USB drive.
I found the mounting problem by looking through the logs. I thought that I could put Ubuntu on a USB drive and use it on different machines. That does not seem to be a possibility. -- Ubuntu 7.10 stops installing to USB drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
