I actually have mine set to look for a DVD first, USB stick second and then for my 1st hard drive. Thing is, I know not to have those things there when I boot. Of course, I don't boot/reboot very often. When I do, it's usually a power failure. I guess because I've never did that, except when I need to boot that way, I never thought a person would have one plugged in that way. Of course, I'm a bit weird. Don't bother arguing with me on that. ROFL Dale :-) :-)
