Hey all. I'm fairly new to Linux. I've been using Fedora 9 on a LiveUSB for a week or two now, and I like it a lot. Earlier today, I decided to give KDE a try. Installation went okay, no problems there. I tried KDE for a bit, then switched off the computer and went off to play a video game. I turn the computer on later, and it boots straight to Windows. I checked the boot order in the BIOS, it's set to boot from USB. I figured that I could format the USB drive and reinstall, besides I didn't have many files yet. I formatted the drive, and reinstalled Fedora 9 through the LiveUSB creator. It still will not boot. Needless to say, I am not very happy right now, and I'd like this problem fixed ASAP.

Please help me get Fedora back!

you did set grub to boot off the first sector, or the mbr of the usb drive?

Uh... whatever the liveusb-creator does automatically. Like I said, this has never happened before. I installed the ISO the exact same way as I did before: Selected the ISO, selected the flash drive, slapped on some persistent memory and clicked Create LiveUSB.
