Check your boot settings in BIOS.

As above, I found myself in a similar situation the bios is the place to look.

If memory serves me correctly you must set the USB boot disk to be the first boot device, and then disable all others. This will stop it trying to boot from your external drive

If you get stuck let me know and I'll check my bios settings and let you know the exact settings next time I am colocated with my server
