Curious. I've never had that problem when installing Squeeze to a USB
drive. Can you boot from the USB drive?

No.
But it "sounds" like the problem "might" be your BIOS. Have a look and
see if you have some sort of boot record protection in the BIOS and turn
it off.

Please provide some information about the OS/s installed on your
internal HDD/s and the messages you get when you boot.
Also check the boot order in your BIOS.

P.S. Don't stress - most likely this is easily fixed.
