Try setting the USB-HDD as the primary boot device.

Also, I want to say that Dell BIOSs treat all bootable harddrives as a single option in the boot order, and then have a secondary list for the boot order of harddrives. You might try modifying the order of that second list if that's the case.

If you are mentioning boot sequence then i have already made changes in the boot sequence with usb as the first option – user40587 Jun 21 '10 at 10:39
