Default External USB HDD and Slow Boot

Hi there,

Unlike XP, my external 250 gb WD HDD slows down vista boot process
considerably. Any suggestions? I am really sick of plugging it off/on during
boot..
Thanks..

Tell me that you are trying to boot an OS from an external HD. It does not work for booting on an external HD

I know exactly what you are talking about. I have three external TB
drives attached to my main PC. I dread rebooting the computer. It
takes FOREVER for the computer to boot up when the externals are
attached. I'm talking upwards of an hour (I actually was curious to see
how long it would take since I usually have no patience after five
minutes or so). If I unplug all of the externals, it boots up no
problem. But I hate doing that since I have to set the share
permissions and all that mess. I hope someone can come up with a
solution.
