Why does my PC boot from a USB drive

[bracken78]

Hello all

I have a pc with an normal internal hard drive, and a two external hard drives, on uses USB to plug in, and the other uses firewire.

When I turn the pc on, if the USB hard-drive is plug into the computer, the computer tries to boot from it, which means I have to unplug it the reset the computer. Why would it do that? The Firewire drive works fine and stays plugged in all the time.

Cheers

You will have to look in the BIOS settings. Most PCs these days allow you to boot from USB.

The boot sequence probably has USB higher up the boot order.

I think you need to press the 'Delete' key while your PC is starting to get into the BIOS settings. Either disable or change boot sequence.

Sorry should have mentioned this, my PC boot up goes:-
- Floppy drive
- Hard drive
- CD ROM
There's no USD to choose from in there.

Could there be anyother BIOS setting to change?
