What I did was (I'm currently using Windows) is creating a bootable version on an old ~8GB USB Stick, from which I started the trial version of Ubuntu without installing, configured my actual USB Stick to use with GParted, then installed everything on there. I am 100% sure that I installed everything on the usb stick, especially the "Boot Loader" p
Pumamori 2017-03-07 11:55:36
art, but now when I restart my PC, even with the USB Stick disconnected, I enter the grub terminal, which I have to exit out off before doing anything at all. I tried "getting rid" of it through recovery CDs, but they don't even boot, it just goes straight to grub

Bashing-om: Ok, I'll load the LiveDVD. Is it possible that it's not resuming it because the grub parameters are somehow different to what they were when it suspended?

Yes, I used that to create the bootable stick for the installation of Ubuntu, but it does not work for recovery purposes - I just get sent straight to the grub terminal.

Well, Ubuntu is installed on my USB Stick - and I can in fact boot it up, but having grub on my hard disk, even when choosing the bootloader to be on the usb stick seems highly counter productive when trying to create a live stick to take with you, haha. It is mostly a matter of getting rid of grub / transferring it to the stick

Pumamori 2017-03-07 12:02:21
I know, I know. I already installed it. It's working fine. The problem I'm having is, that now Grub is on my hard disk, rather than on the USB Stick. I just want to get rid of it, so my PC boots into Windows normally, as long as the USB Stick isn't installed, as it's extremely tedious to double exit everytime, even when the USB Stick isn't plugged

CrimsonSunrise 2017-03-07 12:05:39
Remove GRUB and use Window's bootloader instead?
Pumamori 2017-03-07 12:05:39
Yes, that's it. The solution I'm aiming for, if possible, is that when the USB Stick is plugged in, Ubuntu boots, if not, Windows as normal.
k1l 2017-03-07 12:05:39
you can set windows as default in grub

tangled_z: That is good ! .. I had anticpated that it would not be .
CrimsonSunrise 2017-03-07 12:05:39
I get it. He wants to install GRUB to a USB stick, so he doesn't lose the Windows bootloader when he doesn't want to boot into Ubuntu.
CrimsonSunrise 2017-03-07 12:05:39
There.

Pumamori 2017-03-07 12:14:48
Problem is, I can't seem to get any live cd / media to run, since the Grub Terminal shows up at startup. It just goes to that, no matter what I have plugged in.
CrimsonSunrise 2017-03-07 12:14:58
genii, How? I only know how you do it on Arch.
genii 2017-03-07 12:16:06
CrimsonSunrise: Yes. If he has no grub on the USB, needs to do some bindmounts of livecd like proc, sys, dev and to /mnt/proc /mnt/sys /mnt/dev where /mnt is where the USB is mounted. Then issue sudo install grub2
