I bought a HP 8100, 250g SSD, 8G ram, Win.10, all is good except when it boots, it boots from the optical drive, I have to hold F9 key to get to the HDD, I tried changing it in Bios to boot from the HDD, but still will only boot from the drive. Any help appreciated.
Boots from optical ? if there's no disc it won't & then it will switch to hdd & boot windows.As for setting boot order in bios did you save before exiting
Thanks. Upon booting I get this message "attempting to boot from usb", it does not change to HDD, also I did save it and get the same boot action
Thanks for the reply. I have a 250G SSD HDD and use the exterior drive to store most of my programs, the boot order does not remain after a boot, tried saving to boot from HDD and it does not work
pcexpertq. he doesn't need to replace the battery as the computer shows correct time & date when starting up. the 1st sign that a battery is going bye bye is the wrong time then wrong date.
