![]() In all cases thus far, it takes me coming here to spiceworks before someone helpful, like Colin (Dell) linked me to some information that helped. ![]() Until I posted about my experience on spiceworks and they released a firmware update a month or three later. Before that it was the intermittent HDD clicking/freezing issue on the E6520s that no-one knew what I was talking about. The guy had no idea what I was talking about. I tried that and wasted tons of time the last time I contacted Dell Support recently. I would possibly call Dell on this one, since it's a new unit. It's booting first every time no matter where I place it in the BIOS order. Since it's the LAST option in the BIOS settings, it should boot last. USB is the LAST option in the BIOS settings. Just another bug/defect in this batch of buggy Latitudes. I am betting with a high degree of confidence that this is a bug/defect. So I'm proceeding to get drivers and whatnot loaded on this thing but in the meantime i was hoping someone might have seen this before. I then reset to factory settings, at which point the device BSOD'd until I changed AHCI back to RAID. ![]() I decided to try flashing the BIOS with the same version just in case something got corrupted. So I had to babysit the install and pull the USB out just as it was rebooting and put it back in after it booted. When installing Windows, during the auto-reboot, the laptop boots back into the USB device and restarts the Windows installation. ![]() This problem, by the way, caused issues with installing OS.Įven though the USB is not present in the one-time boot menu and even though it's the last in line in the BIOS settings, the laptop boots into the USB device as long as it's plugged into the laptop at the time of a boot, no matter what. Literally just installed OS after a long and terrible battle with the non-working USB OS install. I checked and I'm running the newest BIOS, 1.4.7. The obscured option in my photo is the fixed drive, M.2 SATA. Great, I can boot to Diskette Drive!īut once I exit BIOS and proceed to the POST screen and then hit f12 for one-time Boot Menu, there is no USB device option. BIOS boot settings give me all the usual options. ![]()
