[QUOTE="ferrarr, post: 1729582, member: 376394"] You may have to select the disk in System Preferences > Startup Disk. I believe that macOS (OS X) looks there first, and if the drive that is selected there, happens to be an external, all is good. If the external (startup drive) is not connected/located, that is when macOS looks for another option. When you restart your Mac, it automatically boots to the last hard drive it was booted from, even if that disk is not selected in System Preferences > Startup Disk. [/QUOTE]
