Is there any need to disconnect all the USB devices before restart/shutdown ? Is there any need to disconnect USB device like a modem that we use often ? If I didn't disconnect, will there be any chances of hardware failure ? I'm hearing a beep during POST(Power-On-Self-Test) when I had kept connected my USB modem. What does that signify ? Please help...

There is no need for disconnecting USB devices and its quite normal to hear the "beep" sound when booting up. __________________ \|\| GNU/Linux User \|\| PCLOS KDE 4.6 \|\| 17" DELL Studio \|\| topdocumentaryfilms.com

Just make sure that your system doesn't have usb boot as a priority, SSD's have a limited read/write cycle and you don't want to waste it with boot checks.

Somehow I face a problem when I leave my USB stick(actually an mp3 player) in the port and try to restart. The system hangs right at the BIOS. __________________ Want to make this world a better place? Then, start seeding and don't be just a leecher :)
