    I want to use the usb in another computer now, but that pc can't boot from usb... So, can anyone offer any remedies of how I can boot the usb drive?

    I was thinking of puting grub on the HDD and using it to boot the OS on the flash drive...

    Hi and Welcome !

    I would suggest you to use SuperGRUB CD/USB to boot up OS installed in USB.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I tried SuperGRUB, it doesn't work in my case. It seems that it can't boot usb (I used the floppy vesion of superGRUB, becuse my cdrom drive doesn't work). But thanks anyway!
