HP Compaq dc5850 Small Form Factor PC

Hello

 

Here is my problem I have  a seagate 2TB USB hard drive

 

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bc2:ab21 Seagate RSS LLC Backup Plus Slim.

 

The drive works perfectly on both my HP DC 5850 phenom SFF and my HP G61 notebook.

 

However if I boot from that USB device inserted in the 5850 it does not boot while it does in the HP G61.

 

I am thinking it might be a power issue or a timing issue.

 

As you see below all looks fine when i boot from  another USB flash drive.

 

Can anyone suggest ways to diagnose this potential hardware - interaction problem please?
