ntldr not found

[Guest Dave Mc]

I have been installing a new server to which I have connected a USB external

hard drive. For the first time yesterday, I rebooted the server with the USB

drive alraedy attached and my heart almost stopped when I got the ntldr not

found message. I then unplugged the usb drive and the server booted up

normally. Why would the server try to boot from the usb drive--is it

probably a Bios setting ??

Yes in deedy, its very probably a bios setting telling it to try and boot the

USB first. But thats an odd option to have on a server??

No kidding ! It's a nice brand new HP and I have made no changes in the

BIOS--yet !! It's times like these I wonder why I'm in this business.

Thanks

Hello Dave,

 

It's default in HP servers to boot from USB first. Also see it often in my

servers.
