Grub not starting [Solved]

[hyniks]

Hi everybody!
I have problem with boot manager Grub.
I have a laptop Samsung R510 with OS Vista Home Premium. I want to install sabayon on my hdd but i don't wann't to have Grub on my mbr hdd. I wan't to put them in to the mbr of my pendrive. Because, in mbr my hdd i have a soft to recovery Vista (so if i buy vista i want to heave it, i don't wan't to loose my money).

So, what i do:
1. I instal sabayon to my hdd ( / , /home , swap)
2. I put /Boot with grub on the pendrive (all memory is ext2, flag: Boot)
3. I finished , reboot and have error:
Grub Geom Error

What i do wrong or what i need to do grub starting?
Sorry for my english

Try Supergrub if you already installed Sabayon to hard drive

When I installed Sabayon on my notebook (I backed up hard drive first), I used the Vista tools to shrink hard drive, then created partitions with gparted, then installed

If you want to place grub on external device then make sure it works before installing operating system on hard drive

Have fun

I find the solution, i used Vista boot manager. I add sabayon to their loader and it's working fantastic!
