The solution is to go to firmware setup and define a different drive as primary. Or zero the first 440 bytes of the external drive e.g. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=440 count=1
Interesting. I used fdisk. I guess fdisk does not clear those first 440 bytes?
I am a bit concerned about dd'ing 440 zeros from /dev/zero into this drive, as it has about 0.5 TB of data on it, and I have no room (yet) to back it up to :)
