hi :)

i have two internal hard drives. one is xp, the second is partitioned fat32 and ubuntu.

is there a way to install grub onto a usb drive and have it boot the ubuntu partition?

that way when the computer boots and the usb drive isnt inserted it would just boot xp.

i searched but nothing came up. so if this has been asked and answered, could someone please point me to that ;)
