    Whenever I leave my ipod or my phone plugged in to my vostro, the laptop gets stuck after loading the bios.
    It looks like it's TRYING to boot from the ipod/phone rather than the hard drive.
    Everything works fine when nothing is plugged in though
    Any way to fix this?

    Its an unknown device that the bios can't deal with - the BIOS stalls and can't continue with the boot. Just have to remove before booting.
