ideas? lot.

you'll want set grub on (sdb). google "reinstall grub livecd ubuntu"

careful not mess mbr on hdd though. might want disconnect hdd while (if possible).

i'm kinda guessing you've got install of ubuntu on hdd?
can select boot device pressing f12 @ boot.(this works if it's enabled bios), , on machines it's f8 or f10 or combination of buttons. check in bios setup.
