starting ubuntu

[zikmoshe]

I have xp, vista and w7 installed on my pc's hard disk
I installed ubuntu 10 on the usb disk but I dont see how to start it

Did you change the boot order in BIOS, to boot from USB first?

My system has it's own bootmenu you can activate at boot, in my case pressing F8. Maybe your system has it too?
Otherwise you need to change the bootorder indeed, so the stick will be started when available at boot.

grub-pc (grub2) need to be installed on this usb drive (mbr), then into a console:

sudo grub-mkconfig
sudo update-grub

What is Grub, where to get it and how to install and make it work?
