I would try this:

Answer "no" to the question about installing GRUB to the MBR.  The next
screen should give you some additional options about where to install
GRUB.  You want to install it to the 8 GB usb stick, which may be
/dev/sdb -- but you should make sure.  Think back to the paritioning
menu.  Whatever drive you partitioned, that's the drive you want to
install GRUB to.
