Note: Drive "J:"

This doesn't match.

grub's (hd0,0) would be the first partion on the first hard-disk (In DOS 
terms: Drive "C:").

An USB stick DOS sees as "J:" (9th drive) is very unlikely to be grub's 
(hda,0).

What I actually is is hard to tell, because both Linux and grub don't 
number drives by consecutive letters.

What is the drive name Linux sees your flash drive rsp. the partition on 
the flash drive?
