dv6-3243 unable to boot via eSATA

‎01-11-2011 05:52 AM

New computer dv6-3243cl has no BIOS setting that would allow to boot from the external HD via eSATA.

Unacceptable in 21ST Century.

Of course it is also not good that only a single HD can be connected to the eSATA on HP laptops.

Would you please update the BIOS so I can avoid returning the computer to the store.

With the esata drive connected and powered up, use F9 at startup, is it listed in the boot selection list?
