    To search the forum use your favorite search engine (i.e. Google) and type
    site:forum.notebookreview.com followed by a space and your search elements.

    Yes, this has been discussed before and what you should do is start your computer without the USB device plugged in. Also make sure that your hard drive, containing your operating system, is the first one in the boot queue in BIOS menu.
