Plesse igmore amd axxept applogies in adbance fir anu typos
Rikkitic:
Yes, +1's for the mug. Where can I get one?
And a curiosity question: Why didn't the HP try the next boot device when it couldn't find an OS on the USB?
Thats a very good question. May HP's have had this 'issue' for 10+ years. Yet they still persist with it.
Better question is why make USB 1st boot device. Its so rare that USB needs to be preferred boot device .
Its easily fixed by changing a bios setting .....but.....
Ive seen HP's, even after setting USB to be last bootable device(or non bootable), when plugging in a new USB HD/stick the HP bios will go
'hey, havnt seen that usb storage before, I better make it the 1st boot device then, regardless of what the owner wanted'

Went round to a friend's place a week ago as his printer had just stopped printing. Everything looked OK so was a bit puzzled. Decided to try another USB port and found the printer was plugged into the RJ45 socket!!
Ive been called onsite because the client didnt know how to plug in a USB stick at all (and her job was 95% PC based)
This modern tech is just so complex

1101:well, considering that when you first try to plug in a usb stick it won't go in, so you flip it around which is guaranteed to be the wrong way and you should have just pushed a bit harder on the first attempt ...
