In my acer the problem is that there is just very little HD cooling. The fan only seems to kick in when the processor heats up, and it has very little effect on HD temps.

In fact, I've just done an online virus scan which sent my HD temp up to 51. The fan stopped the moment the scan was finished. I think the drive would benefit from the fan working a little longer if any air actually passed over it. I don't think it does though.
The bios might well boot the drive but windows doesn't like running off a usb drive, it NEEDS to put files on the internal drive.

If anything it will get so far though loading decide it needs a driver for the drive and BSOD.
