I have done that...I first had it to boot from HDD first then DVD then USB...which you would think thats how it should be...If I just hit power button and let it go...it just goes to a black screen and nothing more...so I was having to go in to boot menu...F12 and arrow down to DVD...and mind u there is no disk in DVD drive...then enter anf it will start the system which is clearly on the HDD. So I then went in to BIOS and changed Boot order to boot DVD first then HDD just to prevent me having to do F12 every single time I start the computer...which works unless you try to restart from the system ...then it goes to black screen...so you, at this point, have to always shut down and hit power on again
Finding that it worked booting from DVD I found out by accident...But it works for now...so unless I can figure out why its doing that and a way to change it...I am beginning to think that on start up it may have something to do with the display driver.because...you can see that the HDD light is blinking and seems to be doing its thing...and when it does start up it shows something about the display but I don't recall what.
