Only after putting in the installation disc was I able to continue the boot process during which time the first thing IT did was to "configure the updates" !
If the problem is that it hangs on boot with the USB external drive connected, perhaps the simple solution is to disconnect the external drive before rebooting, then plug it in once you are up again?

I don't reboot that often. My desktop is normally on 24/7, and gets rebooted if required by something like a critical update or I'm playing with hardware.
