[QUOTE="viktik, post: 372740, member: 12848"] If the main operating system that you use is installed in internal hard disk, then [LIST=1] [*]Open BIOS settings [*]Find the Boot order/Priority settings [*]Set your internal hard disk as 1st Boot priority device [*]Any other device must be set as 2nd or lower priority. These other devices can be USB key, USB hard disk, USB CD/DVD ROM, CD/DVD ROM, floppy, network device, tape drive [*]Save the settings done and Exit [/LIST] [ATTACH=full]54944[/ATTACH] [LIST] [*]It is more safer that you set internal hard disk as 1st boot priority device and disable all other type of device by removing it from boot priority settings. [/LIST] [ATTACH=full]54945[/ATTACH] [LIST] [*]This helps in faster boot because bios has to search less number of devices for bootable files [*]This will eliminate the errors messages & unsuccessful booting when BIOS tries to boot from devices other than internal hard disk. [/LIST] Who knows what type malicious code may get executed from storage devices other than internal hard disk . [/QUOTE]
