    Hi, my XPS M1530 does not boot when I have my ipod plugged in - after the dell bios loading the it stops on a black screen with the cursor blinking in the left upper corner and I have to shut the laptop down, unplug the ipod and start again. It happens even when waking up from hibernation, stand by or when launching MD. I tried to search the forum for ipod but didn find anythig, so I wonder if I am the only one with this problem. I have the newest bios version and I also tried turning off the possibility to boot from USB. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

    What does your boot order show? Is your hard drive listed first?

    Yes, it is. The order is HDD, USB, CD/DVD.

    Just unplug it. This is a known issue with many computers, and there really isn't a true work around.

    just happened this morning for me. What a coincidence. It was quite a scare, losing my computer right before finals.
