BIOS Config Manager config file issues

[mtarggart]

I am applying a config file I created and everything works well as there are no error messages. However, when I reboot, the system does not boot from the hard drive. When I check the Boot Order in the BIOS, it has listed the following: Storage>Boot Options>Legacy Boot Sources>Hard Drive>> USB Hard Drive and SATA0. The USB Hard Drive is greyed because it is disabled, but SATA0 is still Enabled. 

My issue is when I use BIOSConfigUtility64.exe to create a file, the USB Hard Drive is not listed as an option under Legacy Boot Sources. I have confirmed that by setting the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive to "Disabled", it also disables the USB Hard Drive Option.

I would like to disable the USB Hard Drive Option, but I want SATA0 to be listed above it so the computer will boot. When I change it to this setting manaully, the system does boot from the internal hard drive.

I don't see an option to uplaod the config file, so I'll post the top section here:

I am using BIOS Config Utility version 4.0.21.1. The system BIOS is actually at 2.28. I also tried the config file on a 2.24 BIOS version with the same result. I even went back to old versions of the BIOS Config Utility and all of the acted the same way. From what I can tell, there is no way to set the boot order under the Hard Drive listing (SATA0 & USB Hard Drive). Outside of this problem, all the other settings get set as expected along with the BIOS Password.

Revisiting this nearly a year later. I've decided the best way to combat this is to leave the ATAPI CD-ROM option enabled and change the Removable Media Boot option to "Disable USB". I did test this with a bootable USB drive plugged in and USB Hard Drive being set as the first boot device in the Legacy Boot List. The system does boot to the local hard drive and not the USB, so that will solve my issue. I also noted this in the config file so when I look at this again next year, I'll remember why this was done. It seems there is no way to manage the CD-ROM drive as a boot device, which is fine with us.
