Subject: Re: Problem Booting from USB HD

I have a HP Pavillion 9000 Laptop with PheonixBIOS v. F.09.
Yesterday I successfully installed Fedora v14 on a 1GB USB External Hard
Drive. Before the installation I reset the Boot Order to:
1.USB Hard Drive (Fedora 14)
2.CD/DVD ROM Drive
3.Netbook Hard Drive (MS Win 7 Pro)
4.USB Floppy
5.USB Diskette on key
When the Fedora installer rebooted the system, the laptop booted into MS
Windows 7 Professional (the OS installed on the Netbook Hard Drive).
When I attempted to reboot I think that I hit F8 during the early stage
of the reboot and Fedora booted with no action from the led indicator
for the Netbook HD. Great I thought finished the installation and shut
the computer down with the Fedora shutdown option.
This morning when I booted the computer with the External HD running the
machine booted into Win 7. Now, the boot order is the same as I set it
in the BIOS, but the Boot Menu only has two options: 2 and 3 (in that
order). This, of course explains why the computer boots into MS Win7.
Finally, the question"
What's going on here, and how do I get Fedora to run?
Did you install grub into the MBR of the USB drive? You need to if
that's going to be the first drive in your boot sequence.

Thanks for your reply.
As far as I know I die, at least I checked that option during the
installation.
How can I check?
