Schmill Posted December 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 1, 2014 Argh... Ok, so I am running XPEnology and nanoboot on the N54L microserver. I have a USB stick inserted in the internal USB socket and all works well - usually... However today I was away from home and needed to reboot the server, which I did... forgetting that I ALSO had an external USB drive connected to the server. It seems that this then stops the server from booting Is there ANY way to set the bios / server to ONLY use the internal socket as a boot device, and to NOT try and boot from external USB sockets?

Jman420 Posted December 1, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 1, 2014 I don't have a N54L, but I think that most BIOS see the external usb controller and internal dom as two separate USB devices. I know that my TS269Pro sees them as 2 devices, although I can't remember what they are called off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmill Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted December 1, 2014 Hmmm - cheers, your reply made me go back and recheck everything, and it seems as if the bios on the N54L has some preference to the external USB sockets. Setting the primary boot device to the internal stick, disabling the secondary boot device, and then altering the harddrive order (so that the usb stick came first) seems to have cracked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPEH Posted December 2, 2014 Share #4 Posted December 2, 2014 N54L BIOS has a tendency to switch the boot priority to every NEW USB device detected. If you set USB boot to flesh while the other External disk inserted it should remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
