I did set:
USB BIOS Support [Enabled]
But the problem persists -- USB HDD remains parked in the
"Excluded from boot order" zone. Pressing x to toggle it
out of the Excluded zone or F6 to move it up just results
in a beeping sound. I also confirmed these settings:
Supervisor Password [Disabled]
Lock BIOS Settings [Disabled]
So the behavior is not locked in by password... Any ideas
as to why USB HDD remains stuck in the Excluded zone?
I notice that when a USB Flash drive is plugged in there
is a "+USB HDD" but when there's no USB drive plugged in
there is "-USB HDD". The other thing that's stuck in the
Excluded zone is "IDE HDD2"
