Hi there,
the problem:
When MyPassport is connected to my USB port during a system boot or wake up after hibernate, the BIOS start up takes up to two minutes instead of about 5 seconds.
What I did/know so far:
Move the external drive out of the boot order in the BIOS (In my BIOS I can disable/delete devices from my bootorder list) → no change, so it is not trying to boot from the external drive.
I am not able to disable USB Legacy or USB Emulator, so I wanted to update my BIOS but this failed (using USB boot stick with new BIOS on it and with WinPhlash64). I almost died trying, so lets assume a BIOS update is not possible.
Perhaps someone knows if an update would do any help:
Current Version (Phoenix v3121)
Newest Version (Phoenix v3238)
I do not want to unplug the external drive every time I start my computer. This is not an acceptable solution.
Are there any other approaches to solve this problem which I did not see so far?
Additional system information:
Betriebssystemname: Microsoft Windows 8 Pro
Systemhersteller: Acer, inc.
Systemmodell: Aspire 6930G
Systemtyp: x64-based PC
BIOS-Version: Acer v0.3121, 12.09.2008
Best regards
Claus
