    Windows will write the boot sector on the default boot device.

    In my desktop i switch the boot order from let say 80GB HDD and 300 GB HDD, them each of them have a boot sector so I have to switch wich one to start with from the bios and not from the boot menu.

    Switch the boot order, not start from usb with F12....
