| 850778 | 2010-01-21 21:18:00 | How about if I were to partition the WD hard drive? Any other solutions? |

| 850779 | 2010-01-21 21:26:00 | It probably doesnt know what external USB hdds are (if there's no option in the BIOS for it). It would probably work, if you connected it internally. Only other option, you may have to replace the mobo | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 850780 | 2010-01-21 21:36:00 | The bios has "USB Boot" Wouldn't that indicate the ability to recognize usb hdd? |

| 850781 | 2010-01-21 21:41:00 | Have you tried the drive in another system? | Sweep (90) | ||
| 850782 | 2010-01-21 21:47:00 | Just tries it on my Dell OptiPlex GX280 and it boots successfully with the WD attached. | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 850783 | 2010-01-21 21:50:00 | Well that seems to have eliminated a dead drive. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 850784 | 2010-01-21 21:58:00 | Sooooooooooooo Back to partitioning the hard drive for recognition or does it still lye with the bios not being able to handle even though the bios has "USB Boot" |
