Check your boot preferences in the bios. When the notebook is booting, hit the DEL key to access the bios settings and make sure USB connected devices are ahead of the onboard drives.
I know with my Asus eee I used to hit ESC continuously while it was booting to get to the boot option manager where I could select an external device to boot from. Cheers! Neil B.
