When I start the rescue mode, no linux system is found!!!! and if I

What am I missing???
the `expert' flag after `linux rescue'. USB disks aren't searched without it, for some reason I can't fathom.
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
I forgot to share information about my USB disk. From the fdisk -p output
Disk /dev/sda:81.9 GB, 81964302336 bytes 255 hads, 63 sectors/track, 9964 cyclinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 0 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 9964 79931407+ 8e Linux LVM
Of course I do not boot from USB disk (removable device boot is enabled in BIOS).
What is my next step???
