then i was wrong and sorry for that!

was it able in bios to boot from usb thing?

and finally Ubuntu has nothing to do with this recovery file, it can only mount if you plug in when Ubuntu runs. but if your pc can boot from usb things and the bios setup is good you could boot from usb hd. but the filetype of this recovery is not compatibile with Linux distros. if you talk about this:

or did i miss something?

and i think if in the boot sequence the usb is before hd you can boot from it. you do not have to edit menu.lst or fstab or anything in Linux. 'cos for example when you boot from a cd it does not have to write anywhere in Linux 'cos it boot from it before Linux is loaded in.

or you have to mount it simply. mount(8): mount file system - Linux man page
but i thing you can do nothing with this mounted filetype/system. so i think practically you should boot from it.
