I'm a newbie, so please try avoid hard technical stuff.
I recently installed Xubuntu in my USB external HD, keeping WinXP in my laptop internal HD. However, when I try to boot from the USB, I get Grub error 15.
Here is some revelant data:

I read many posts and tried many solutions, but until now none solved my problem.
Please help me. I want to use Ubuntu.
