Hello, I have noticed that when I have my external HDD's plugged in via USB, my PC takes over a minute to boot. Today it was 71 seconds. However when these are disconnected it boots up in under 10. I know that this is happening due to the Mother board checking the drives, but is there a way to disable this? I know I can just unplug those drives, and plug them in once the PC is booted, but the way my set up is positioned, it would mean crawling under my desk every time I want to turn the PC on.

Can I change this in the bios? Surely right?

Compare bios time with ext connected and disconnected.
