Hey guys, posting about my second issue. The first issue was the installation: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1069951
I installed Ubuntu on my USB harddrive from the LiveCD I'm currently booted on. No errors during installation.
It asked to restart, so I restarted. It started BIOS, and then it outputted
Grub loading, please wait
Error 21
Before that, there was something about Stage 1.5 (seemed important on other threads) I didn't see Stage 2 nor stage 1 on the output.
Ok, it seems weird to me, but when I unplug my USB harddrive, and boot, it gives 'Operating System not found'. Why? Vista is still there I hope!? I can't mount OS (Vista's partition) but I can mount HP_RECOVERY.
These are the labels of the partitions. I hope you can use those, so it will be more clear to me:
Partition Label Mountpoint
/dev/sda1 OS
/dev/sda2 HP_RECOVERY
/dev/sdb1 DATA
I made a screenshot of GParted showing my external harddrive:

I hope someone can help me with this, cause this doesn't make Ubuntu's appreciation better to me.
But hey, I don't know how to uninstall Ubuntu and Grub, so I guess I'm stuck with it, and I don't want to be depended on Vista, so this is one of the only solutions :P
Help me:D
If you want any more information, just ask me. I'd be happy to help you helping me;)
