| 850765 | 2010-01-21 20:03:00 | I have an external WD hard drive E101559 1Tb My computer will not boot if it is plugged in. Is this a faulty hard drive or faulty case? |

| 850766 | 2010-01-21 20:06:00 | Make sure the hdd with the OS on it, is the bootdisk. The WD may have changed the bootdisk order in the BIOS | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 850767 | 2010-01-21 20:20:00 | Go into the BIOS and remove usb HDD from boot options! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 850768 | 2010-01-21 20:26:00 | Id update your BIOS drivers, basically it's just that your BIOS is freaking out because the drive-size, thats why it's hanging. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

| 850770 | 2010-01-21 20:30:00 | Perhaps the OP could be a bit more detailed, will the PC not POST?, or is it looking for the o/s on the external drive, my guess is the later! Edit - okay....chill was right, the size is freaking out the Board...LOL |

| 850774 | 2010-01-21 20:44:00 | Looks like these are the BIOS updates (downloadcenter.intel.com +Boards&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Desktop+Board+D915GAG&OSVersion=OS+Independent). But they look a bit old. What version of the BIOS is on it now? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
