Same problem here, I'm using an USB with Ubuntu 10.04 2GB Persistent (casper), 
but the PC I'm using has no Hard Drives at all ( I disconnected them for a 
test).  If I put the Hard Drive that boots Windows XP then Ubuntu starts 
without any issue. 
If I put the other drive that has multimedia (videos and Music) without the 
boot drive it doesn't work.

This doesn't make any sense, I want to use Linux  but apparently it
requires to have a bootable partition on the file system.

Once again, this is because my XP bootable drive is not working
properly, so I want to access the other dirve using linux from USB, to
see my movies, music, etc.

It's a requirement that the PC has an active partition with a working
boot record or MBR to let Ubuntu work?
