I re-installed from scratch, with automatic partitioning (LVM volumes..)
Then following Simon's instructions I created a usbinitrd.img.

Please note that I want to start up automatically Fedora only when the 
USB disk is connected (no alternative OS available), and when USB is 
disconnected Windows XP will be started

Now I have only made modifications connected to the new image to grub.conf

My grub.conf file now looks like:

#boot=/dev/sda1
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage (hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667)
    root (hd1,0)
    kernel /vmlinux-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
    initrd /usbinitrd.img

Is it correct??

How do I install grub now on the USB disk???

Tnx
