I'll be more specific: my computer is a TOSHIBA Satellite U505, when i turn it on, there are two options F2: Setup and F12:enter boot menu. If i press F2, i go to "Aptio Setup utility", here i can change the boot order, there are three options:
Boot option number one: TOSHIBA MK5055GSX
Boot option number one: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GU10F
Boot option number one: Realtek boot agent.
I have changed the order to all the possible combinations and i still have the same results.

    Hello Don,
    I almost did not read this thread, since the subject said "Shut
    down" and
    not "Boot Up"...  But I'm glad I did not pass this by!  As soon as I
    reboot, I'm going to try this on my SuperMicro 5046AXB.  If I
    leave my MP3
    player plugged in when I re-boot, my system will not start...

    So, off to my BIOS...

You could disable the usb boot option in bios to not deal with this again.
It can always be enabled

Boot cdrom ,HD only
