Thread: Ubuntu on USB, Windows Server '08 on HDD: Booting NTLDR before GRUB


hi all,

have ubuntu installed on usb flash drive , windows server '08 installed on hard disk. (long story short, win server used development , testing environment, don't hate me using workstation )

when first boot machine loads grub, behavior i'm accustomed , expected. however, because ubuntu (and grub) installed on flash drive, may not present when boot machine.

best course of action me able boot windows when flash drive isn't plugged in? should setup window's ntldr prompt choose between booting windows or ubuntu? how should go setting up? i'm aware of setting grub boot windows, i've never had reverse, i'm kinda clueless if best course of action. on top of i've tried stay away toying around grub after several incidents best left forgotten.

in advance.

instead of installing grub on flash drive, install on internal hard drive. there, make windows default, make menu entry flash drive.
