Computer hangs during boot if the eSATA drive is turned on
Ran into a problem preventing me from trying a couple of suggestions to work
around the delayed write problem to an eSATA drive I wrote about earlier (Apr 8)..... Now my computer will not boot if the eSATA drive is turned on. It hangs right before it finishes loading the BIOS. About 95% of the way before the white progress bar finishes. Can't even hit F2 to configure or F12 to change boot order. So I have to turn the eSATA drive off then cycle the computer. Then of course it says it can't detect the SATA-4 device and I hit F1 to continue. Any ideas?

Since it does not boot, you probably should remove it from the boot sequence.

Computer hangs during boot if the eSATA drive is turned on
My printer is USB, plugged into the back. I have USB in the boot sequence. My
BIOS hanged then too. I believe it is the same problem. My question is: Would the same thing happen if the front usb ports are used? I havn't tried it, I understand the front and backa re different. Also: If I go into the BIOS and disable USB from boot sequence - How easy would it be if there as a problem to change that feature so USB can be booted from? I think that if there is a big BIOS problem or a motherboard problem, you'd probably have to change the mobo anyways.

USB ports and eSATA ports are not the same. eSATA is a hard drive style connector which most Windows will treat as an internal port usually. USB ports are all the same. The front and rear ports are all the same. USB printers do / should not affect the boot sequence. If the system hangs when a USB device is connected, check of a BIOS update. If the system only hangs with the printer, check for revised drivers or the printer might have digital media slots.

The front and rear ports are all the same. Not always; occasionally the front ports will be 1.x while the back ones are 2.x. it was done to use up stock of old mobo's that had 1.1 and they added a 2.x card to get up to 2. I've heard there are still some showing up from no-name sources and even the big box stores. HTH, Twayne` USB printers do / should not affect the boot sequence. If the system hangs when a USB device is connected, check of a BIOS update. If the system only hangs with the printer, check for revised drivers or the printer might have digital media slots.

There are digital media slots for flash cards. And even one usb on the printer.
It happened once. I'v had an issue with a bios update, though my new motherboard is pretty much built for one, I'm not really interested in doing that again.

BIOS updates can be "painful" but several manufacturers require you to process the latest update before they would "tech support" / RMA the motherboard.
