Presario S5100NX Boots on USB Drive

Re: Presario S5100NX Boots on USB Drive

This S5100NX hangs on boot up when the USB Flash Drive 1 GIG is inserted
into the front panel USB slot.

It boots perfect wihout the USB drive. The F1 setup has the boot order as;
1. CD DVD
2. HD
3. Floppy
4. Network

If the USB is not in the list why does the PC hang? What can be changed to
have it bootup with the USB drive left in the USB slot at all times?

Thanks from Gary in New Orleans, Enjoy your Cracklins
