Computer won't boot

WD External Drives External Drives for PC

Mega-Byte May 25, 2021, 12:48pm 6

As @T0x1cMaN advised here:

Win 10 PC will not boot with 10TB MyBook attached External Drives for PC

My Windows 10 PC will not boot if my 10 TB WD MyBook is attached (Model Number WDBBGB0100HBK-NESN, Part Number WDBBGB0100HBK-NA). If I disconnect the drive from the USB 3.0 port, the PC will boot. I can then reconnect the drive and access it through Windows Explorer. Is there a setting that needs to be changed on the drive or in Windows to allow the PC to bot with the drive attached? As I have been working remotely it is not convenient to drive to the office to manually reboot the PC. Thank you…

It is likely to be a BIOS boot order problem
