coax from the 80's might be found to do the job.

ideas on a medium, others can gain the information contained within. I
know its hard to do sometimes, but i'm trying to point out that while
a guided tour might be helpful to a novice unfamiliar with the
library, rarely does the seeker ask the librarian to read to him.
my 2 cents.

it. Is it applicable to what I'm trying to do?

take a look at the plop boot manager its educational, most grub's are
set up with uuids rather than the classic, btw

When I choose to boot from USB device I get a grub menu to choose the kernel
to boot. I pick one, doesn't seem to matter which, and the boot starts but I
know no way to interrupt it to choose from the USB HD BIOS an option to boot
from the USB drive. How can I do that , if I even can?

This is just an inquiry to your problem... Do you think that it is booting
to the USB drive, then the Grub installed on that one is attempting to boot
your internal HDD (because Grub on the USB drive is probably configured to
boot off of the 1st partiion of the 1st hard disk) ? This could occur if you
used the PC's bios to choose to start from the USB disk (interrupt the
pc's startup (not the bootloader's) to choose a boot device). If that is the
case, you could interupt Grub (on the USB disk) and tell it to boot from the
USB disk...

A while back I cloned my HD to a larger HD using dd and the advice of all
the great guys on this list. It worked perfectly and after the cloning I
booted the new drive as a USB device and that also worked perfectly so I
replaced the smaller HD with the new one.
I had an idea that I could boot the old drive as a USB device and try the
apt-get dist-upgrade on that version, which is also Ubuntu 10.10 though
without some updates over the last several months. This would let me know
how the partial upgrade worked. However....
When I try to boot the USB drive grub defaults to the newer, installed HD
and the USB drive won't boot. I also can't see the drive in nautilus but it
does show up in GParted as mounted. There is a info flag with it that
states,
"Unable to read the contents of this file system! Because some of this
some operations may be unavailable.
The following list of software packages is required for ext4 file system
support: e2fsprogs v1.41+."
If the file system is unreadable then the unbootability makes sense but
what would cause it to become that way?
Thanks
