    I have an HP a210 n that won't boot up unless I unplug all USB devices. Anybody have an Idea?

    You have a memory stick or card reader and in the boot sequence it comes before the hard drive?

    Question HP Boot Up

    No, I don't think so. I have a printer(HP), a scanner(Lexmark), DSL modem, and an external hard drive, all USB. They have all been attached for years, but my problem start only recently. I have tried unplugging each of the USB devices in various sequence, but it will only boot after the last device is unplugged. I can then plug them back in and everything seems to work fine.

    Shut down the machine and then start it up and press F1 as soon as it starts - this will take you into the bios setup menu.

    Make a note of the current bios revision on the general page while you are then, then have a look through the various menus till you find the boot order. What is listed on the boot order please?

    Also have a look for usb mouse and keyboard support and usb legacy support - are they enabled or disabled?

    Have you recently updated the bios?
