    F14 - Installation in External USB Drive

    Installing in external drive at the point where to put the GRUB loader I have these choices :

    1. Master Boot Record (MBR) at -dev/sda (internal HDD)

    2. First Sector of boot partition - dev/sdc1 (external USB HDD)

    How can I put MBR in sdc instead of sdc1 ?

    If those are the only options you have, then don't install Grub during the Fedora installation. After the installation completes, you can re-boot the Fedora install CD and install Grub: Log in as root in a terminal and run command:

    grub-install /dev/sdc

    This should install to the mbr of sdc. Make sure you have the right drive.
