I have tried to install 9.10 on an external 160GB WD usb drive and everything to seem to go fine with the install.

However when trying to boot from the drive it comes up with the error of 'No boot sector on USB device' even though during the last step of the install (the confirmation screen) I clicked on advanced and chose to install the boot loader on the USB drive.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1721 laptop that dual boots Vista and Win 7 and I have set the BIOS to boot from USB.

Ideas?
