My laptop has win. 7 os. I tried unsuccessfully to boot win7 from a external usb hard drive. I have given up on that idea because of bsod. Now however, when I try to boot only from the internal hd it gives me a choice of which hd to boot from the phantom disconnected usb drive or the internal drive and I have to now always select the internal drive. How can I fix it so that it will automatically start from the internal drive?

Go to run type MSCONFIG select boot tab highlight the one you want to delete and then click on the delete button. Remember you should always have a current backup available for use if necessary.
