Re-posting - I have now installed Grub2, and tried commenting ( #) out 
unwanted entries, in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
saved altered file and  sudo update-grub. but still cannot boot with 
external drive unplugged.
Do I have to do a clean install of everything to get rid of the external 
drive?
Any help will be very welcome, getting to the end of my tether here. 
Been in the Grub archives but can't
find anything relevant.
Many thanks in advance.
