Crazy Laptop/EVO 4G Issue

[dougeetx]

Ok. So, everytime I reboot my laptop, it will always stall at the beginning of the POST where I can hit F2 to get in the bios if I have my evo plugged into the USB port. If I restart without it, my laptop boots up fine. Any clue of what's happening?

Yes, the EVO looks like any other USB mass storage device to your laptop. When you leave your EVO plugged into a USB port, your laptop is trying to boot off of the microSD of the EVO.

You should be able to change your bios settings in your laptop to make the 'boot from hard drive' have a higher priority than 'boot from USB device.' Otherwise, you may need to see if you can disable the 'boot from USB' option. The last way is to just unplug your EVO when rebooting your laptop.

You will need to change your boot priority so that its not booting from a usb device. It also may be listed under the hard drives in which case you'll want to move your boot disc to the top. Make sure the evo is plugged in during these steps.
