Machine: Dell laptop -Latitude E7240 Ultrabook
External Drive: 3 TB MyBook
when drive is plugged into port replicator-or laptop directly-- the machine will not boot to windows. if the drive is unplugged, the machine will then boot-afterwhich, the drive can be plugged in and is recognized.
How can I get the machine to bbot while the drive is pluggedin–it is not convenient to plug/unplug the drive everytime the machine is booted…
Troubleshooting steps tried already without success:
-looked for legacy USB mode in bios–does not exist
-disabled USB boot in bios
-updated WD SES driver
anyone got any other ideas I can try-----thanks
