If this is a Debian machine insert the USB stick and run 'update-grub' as root. If everything works fine you should have a new entry in the Grub menu with the USB stick "OS". If you can't boot it please try to reproduce any error messages as faithfully as possible and copy-paste the relevant part from /boot/grub/grub.cfg [3], somewhere between the ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### markers. If in doubt just attach the whole file.
