    Default Can't boot with external HD

    I installed new External Seagate Free Agent 500 GB with no problem, but if I reboot PC it won't start. It hangs at BIOS stage. If I stops it and again it boots up well. Any help would be appreciated.

    Are you attempting to boot up from external HD as backup if internal HD fails or you attempting to search why PC won’t boot up when having external attached?

    Check boot configuration on bios. Ensure that boot sequence is set for internal hard drive to be primary boot device.
