Basic boot question

[caithomas44]

I want to speed up my computer while it boots. I know that my external hard drive adds approximatley 20 seconds to the boot when it is plugged in. ( I don't wan't the hassle of plugging and unplugging it everytime i tur it on and off though.

So how can i disable it in the bios so it does not load when booting, but does not disbale it from the whole system entirely.

Thanks

External hard drive is a WD Mybook 500gb and the board is a asus p5kc
