| 753135 | 2009-03-04 10:45:00 | Umm have you checked to see if the main hdd is the bootdisk in the BIOS? When this USB hdd is connected. If it hasnt got an OS on it, it may have been changed to the bootdisk. If its not bootable (obviously it cant boot from it) Also some people (on other sites) found that the USB cable was stuffed, and replaced it. Maybe the cable is faulty? |
