I'll be more specific: my computer is a TOSHIBA Satellite U505, when i turn it on, there are two options F2: Setup and F12:enter boot menu. If i press F2, i go to "Aptio Setup utility", here i can change the boot order, there are three options: Boot option number one: TOSHIBA MK5055GSX Boot option number one: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GU10F Boot option number one: Realtek boot agent. I have changed the order to all the possible combinations and i still have the same results.

Hello Don, I almost did not read this thread, since the subject said "Shut down" and not "Boot Up"... But I'm glad I did not pass this by! As soon as I reboot, I'm going to try this on my SuperMicro 5046AXB. If I leave my MP3 player plugged in when I re-boot, my system will not start... So, off to my BIOS... Steven P.
