I installed 10.04 from a thumbdrive on a HP Mini 5102 netbook that originally had Win7 Starter on it. Everything went smoothly (after installing the proprietary wireless drivers), but now the darn thing doesn't boot at all unless I have the thumbdrive attached. I'm assuming Grub got put on the thumbdrive instead of the netbook's hard drive, but how do i fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I ran
sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc to fix the same issue by opening a terminal after booting with the usb drive inserted
