cant remember why or which ones, but i know it is a limitation of some chipsets that they will not start (or have great difficulty) when a usb hard drive is connected.
gets confused about the boot order and hangs. a mate of mine had the same thing. nothing you can do except understand it and un-plug your usb drives (flash is fine iirc)

Have a simialir problrem with a coupla pc's to do with a USB drive like that, I either get a disk error, which windows wants to check pre boot, or it says disc space has changed, just something to do with the drives I guess.
