Thank you, those are good ideas. Removing the bootable
flag from the USB drive is especially promising. But I'm not sure where to
do this. Not in the BIOS, certainly, and I can't find anything like that
in the drive's Windows properties (which wouldn't do any good anyway, since Win
loads after the problem).
I think you must mean in the partitioning/formatting
process?

You could always put NTLDR and associated
files on the drive and point it
at the primary HDD in boot.ini.
Alternatively you could try removing the
bootable flag from the USB drive.
This will simply save you from yourself
if you forget to remove the drive
before rebooting remotely =)

There is NOTHING in the BIOS to enable USB to boot or that changes
the boot
priority of USB. Infact there is no mention of USB anywhere
in the BIOS.
It's possible that HP has issued a BIOS update that would
allow this, I've
frankly not looked into it, but I say again, this machine
is not capable of
booting when a live USB HD drive is attached.
As
for booting from the USB drive, that's all well and good, but what's the
point? I don't want to boot from the USB HD. All I want it to
do is to be
there to receive backups and file copies.
