You could disable the usb boot option in bios to not deal with this again.
It can always be enabled

Boot cdrom ,HD only

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...

Go into your PC's BIOS right when it boots.  That's usually done by
holding the Delete key during boot, but your PC might use a different
key.

Your BIOS should have a "Boot" section.  Look over the items in the
boot order listing, then make any changes to ensure that both the
listed devices and their boot order is completely correct.

On my own box, my Supermicro X7DWA-N motherboard mangles the boot
order every time I change the connectivity of any storage devices.
The result is almost always that I cannot boot until I myself do what
I just told you to do.

And yes, that is a glaring firmware bug, and really inexcusable for a
high-end server motherboard, but there it is.
