Hello,
I'm unable to find out how to boot either from extrnal drive or from bootable CDR.
On my previous system this was quite straightforward, in BIOS I could specify boot media lookup order buthere I'm quite clueless, although here's still media type order table but no more hard drives lookup order so Win8 bootloader persistently ignores my grub4dos bootable partition on external drive, which was with Windows 7 system perfectly booting. It looks like on new system external hard drives are ranked under "USB" devices unlike on old system where it ranked under hard drives. So despite I put USB drives here a highest booting priority and despite that BIOS correctly identifies my connected xternal drive, it for some reason either won't boot or is ignored. I would appreciate any resolution or setup guide for this. Btw. EasyBCD won't help at all (maybe because I selected this external drive as default booting disc for a while and now is inaccessible from Windows UI)
