fixing the grub wasnt the problem. the question was why, cuz when i wont have another windows installed its gonne be a problem. Aw Dok is Disk On Key [in israel its called after the first company who made it] - Flash drive as u call it. The setup.exe problem was fixed by using the 0.2.3 ver. of WinBlaBlaUSB [as you said ] and one more thing, the installaition was much more automatic with the previous Winblabla. how can i turn it back to it? [no f8 or press c] EDIT: next issue...probable no ntldr or mbr on the HDD boot only possible with the FD with "start 2nd part..." in which stage of the installation the MBR and ntldr are made?
