I have a 750 Gig Seagate FreeAgent USB drive connected to my DS PC.  The boot hangs at the point the bios is recognizing USB drives, roughly 20 seconds.  No hang if I boot with drive disconnected.  Drive works fine, btw.
 
Anything I can do to prevent this obnoxious boot delay?  Thanks.

I just got off the phone with him. There is pretty much nothing we can do to decrease the load time when that usb drive is connected to the system. Its just something with the i7, we have seen it with a few usb items now at this point.

Latest bios version for the Rampage II i7 board I believe is 1001 and hes going to try and update to do that. Hopefully asus gets on the ball here with these kind of things and gets us some more fixes on stuff like that.

If its fat then that is why, he needs to format it to NTFS and then he will be good to go.
