Assuming your USB drive is sdb, and is mounted at usbdrive:

Code:
grub-install --root-directory=~/usbdrive/ /dev/sdb


By the way, you should know that GRUB2 is still a WIP.

4x 2.5GHz = 10Ghz

Thus, Q8300 wins.

Oh right, not sure what you'd use on Windows.

And yeah, I'd suggest using GRUB over GRUB2 at this point at least.
