Hi Aere, having a USB device plugged in at boot time opens a whole new can of worms....
The boot order is set in BIOS, ensure that the usb device is lower than what disk you wish to boot off. My system has BIOS to boot off usb and dvd/cd rom drive before it even looks at the hard drives. PcManFM will auto mount an USB device, but I do think it is a case of checking closely your boot order in the BIOS start up screen. Regards, Phill.
