asked on

remote desktop cant boot because of external hard disk

Hello experts,
is there any way to remotely change the boot order of a desktop?
We have two remote pcs that cannot restart at all since they were added each a 2 tb external hdd.

So now we cannot restart them unless we have someone there...

Can we change the boit order remotely? and how ?
or  we need to go there once more no other way?

Hi.

This would be no problem if the external drives are USB connected.

The external Drives are usb connected...
pc end is a usb
external hdd end is another sort much thinner wirh a división in the middle...also plug in.
we have two HP PROdESK 400 G1 SFF
Again: if USB, then no problem.
Booting from USB - if configured at all - will fail, resulting to try the next possible devices which would be your hard drives ->normal startup in any case.
i have seen some (older) PC's that had this problem
what models are these PC's?
Thank you very much!
guillermo, how was  your problem solved??
