I had to reboot last night and was in my BIOS looking for other things |
| 14 |
but did notice this feature. I have a setting in my BIOS that tells it |
| 15 |
what drive to look for to boot first. It's above the part where you |
| 16 |
tell it to boot CDROM, hard drive, floppy, ZIP and other bootable |
| 17 |
things. You may want to check and see if you have the same thing. Mine |
| 18 |
is called "hard disk boot priority". I'm not sure this will help but it |
| 19 |
couldn't hurt to check I guess. |

I also noticed something else that may not be related. I enabled AHCI a |
| 22 |
while back and noticed it will not boot from a CD/DVD when in that |
| 23 |
mode. I have to set it back to IDE for it to be able to boot from other |
| 24 |
than the hard drive. Maybe if you set yours to AHCI, it will skip the |
| 25 |
external stuff like USB? |

I'm seriously pulling it out my butt here. I hope one of these will |
| 28 |
help. ;-) |
