you might have a the drive delay set in the bios...
(when drives started to get faster a few years ago.. the bios would run
through the post test before the drives had time to spin up...
So ther is often a setting in the bios now to wait for so many seconds
(for the drive to be recognised) before it continues
look and see if you have such a setting and disable it and see what happens
