    I was unable to boot from a usb hard drive. I searched for some time and was told that the operating system loads the usb drivers while it loads so you have to boot from another device.

    John, I used Live Ubuntu loaded from a USB CDD, to access a HDD with corrupted MBR.

    Look into your BIOS and set USB CDD as the first bootup device. That's all I can say since I'm still a 'nux noob'.
