I've tried this. For some reason the BIOS in these machines have
problems booting at all with devices like USB external CD/HD plugged in.
Don't know why the thumb drives is ok. Guess I could try again and let
it get past the hard drive detection before plugging it in. Currently
that's where it hangs. I'll have to try that.

Tried option 2 as you describe but it doesn't boot. I just get a blank
screen with a flashing cursor in the top left. 

Thanks,
James
