Dimension E521 Freezing on start up

Hi

I have just bought a Dimension E521 and since i have installed a Lemax printer, the PC is frozen on the DELL start up screen and loads after about 20 minutes. However, if i remove the USB cable from the back of the PC the PC works fine.

What do i have to do

    Probably this printer has a card-reader, that makes the computer to try to boot there. Go to the BIOS (F2 at POST) and then go to boot sequence, in there you'll see all the devices where the computer can boot, HDD, CD/DVD, USB, etc... not sure if in yours, by pressing U or D you can move options Up or Down, or if you will remove an item by presing the Space Bar.
    So put your Hard Drive on the top of the list, and the CD/DVD on second, disable the other, since they are useless...
