    Windows keep booting into Bios when I unplug my external HDD


    Hi,


    My windows keep booting into Bios when I unplugged my external hdd.


    I've checked the boot priority and it's set to boot from my C drive, but when I unplug the external HDD before starting up, it just can't boot normally.


    I can boot just fine with the external HDD plugged in.


    I have the external HDD before I got my current PC, so I'm certain it doesn't have my operating system inside.


    I can't seem to figure out a solution. Need some advise whether or not I should reformat my PC, and if so, how should I format my PC without a pendrive?


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. Boot from external USB HDD

    Hello!

    Any laptop should be able to Be booted from an external HDD.

    You can check this back accessing your BIOS and then checking if the BIOS gives you an option to boot from USB.

    If that option is listed, then you're good to go!

    Laptop won't boot with new external hard drive attached.

    The problem is probably in your BIOS . . .

    • Plug in the external HDD
    • Boot into BIOS
    • Make sure the external drive is not above your internal HDD in the boot order list
    • Enable or disable USB Legacy Boot, whichever setting allows your system to boot with the external HDD plugged in . . .
