BIOS mods to prevent automatic changes to boot order?
#1
Question 
Save me from "smart" firmware! Angry

I change non-boot hard drives in my two main computers a lot, but I almost never want to change the boot order. Yet, the BIOS on both machines always ever so "helpfully" Angry automatically changes the boot order totally on it's own and always against my will!

This "smart" firmware code is driving me insane! Every time I boot/reboot, if I've inserted, removed, or exchanged any hard drives (a very common thing for me), this auto-idiot forces me to enter the BIOS screen and manually change the boot order back to what it's supposed to be, and then it has to reboot again to fix it's error.

This is a problem on those computers which briefly shut down and resets the power upon every boot. All those thousands of unnecessary power cycles must take a big, useless toll on all the components over time.

What I'd like are BIOS mods for these two mobos...

(1): Asus P5WDG2 WS Pro, AMI BIOS rev 1001 (not available on ASUS sites, but I've attached it to this post:
.zip   P5WDG2-WS-ASUS-PRO-1001.zip (Size: 787.36 KB / Downloads: 91) )

(2): Asus Z87-A, UEFI AMI BIOS rev 2103 (BIOS downloadable here: Z87-A Dowloads/)

This seems to me to be relatively easy, but although I've coded firmware in the past, I've never worked with any modern BIOS, so what do I know?

How about it - is this possible? Should I post the request elsewhere? If so, please advise.

Thanks!
