It does it all for you:-)
I did 3 more usb sticks today exactly the same. Same make, same model. No problem at all. I wonder why this one gave problems?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----It is sdb because I used another usb stick /dev/sda to boot from so I could run fdisk. This is a 10-for-100-Euro laptop with no hard drives.

That's what you should already have. The command is, if I don't make a mistake:should go to partition 2, which should have grub code.Hi Carlos, hi everyone

OK. But how do I do that?
grub-install or grub-install.unsupported (I don't remember). Or perhaps it
is grub itself - I'm fuzzy right now, last time I did it was a month ago :-)
and inside:
setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0,1) (hd0,1)
quit
Doc: info grub. Node: setup (13.3.34 setup)
And that's assuming the usb thing is the first device the bios sees. That
you show it as sdb is confusing, unless you are using another computer to
display it.
