Re: can't booting ubuntu from USB2 disk-on-key dongle

grub has tricky numbering sometimes, you may want to try hd0,1 hd1,1

also "grub-install /dev/sdb" at a command line may work

i can confirm that once grub is installed on USB, the fit-pc2 is happy to boot from it

Re: can't booting ubuntu from USB2 disk-on-key dongle

you need to install grub onto the USB dongle .

i would boot from the install CD again with USB plugged in, and try:

# grub
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1)

also try hd0,0 and hd0.. it will say "hd1 fs: ext3" or so if it worked

Re: HDD idleing?

services.msc:
disable event log, task scheduler, any virus scanner

msconfig also contains checkboxes for startup items
