HP Proliant N36L: Boot from internal USB with other USB-drives attached

Solution 1:

  • Attach all USB-devices.
  • Boot.
  • Hold F10 to go into BIOS.
  • Go to 'Boot'.
  • Go to 'Hard disk drives'
  • Disable all drives except 'USB: General Flash'
  • Change Boot Priority: Select 'USB: General Flash'.
  • Save.

The tricky part is that you have to have all USB-drives attached before you can disable the drives. And only after you have disabled them, can you select the correct USB-device as boot device.
