I created a bootable Ubuntu USB drive (no CD drive on ultrabook) on Windows so I can install the OS. When I boot from the USB drive, I get a terminal with "grub." I have no idea how to even begin the installation of Ubuntu. Google has yielded no results and I really want to get this up and running as soon as possible.

How do I install the OS from grub?

This definitely shouldn't happen. You should get a beautiful menu to select if you either want to install Ubuntu or test it. But anyway, we can do it through the grub menu. Run the following commands:

set root=(hd0,msdos1)

I'm considering your flash drive has only one partition here.

linux /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper noprompt noeject quiet splash

initrd /casper/initrd.lz

boot

And that, in the best scenario, should boot Ubuntu Live.
