Forgot to send the link.

Have just upgraded from win98 to winxp but seem to suffer painfully long bootup times on winxp splash screen. I downloaded bootvis and ran a check. It seems that the initialization of my hard disk is taking 150 seconds to start, then the rest of bootup procedure seems fairly ok. Any ideas of what may be causing this delay in initialization? What are your machine spec's Athlon XP2400+ running at 2.04Ghz (133mhz) on a Gigabyte GA-7VA motherboard. 512mb DDR pc2700 RAM, G- Force4 Ti4200 128mb DDR. Win XP Pro, without service pack 1. BIOS Version/Date: Award Software International, 14/01/2003. HD is 30gb FUJITSU MPG3307AT formatted NTFS. BTW Alvin I did actually do a fresh install, I used the term upgrade in the sense that I progressed from win98 to win XP. There should be no issue of shared drivers. Nick - Have you any ideas what may be causing this delay on the HD. There are no drivers needed for this device and it seems to be recognized and working ok in Bios and winxp. I dont get why it sits there for so long before starting winxp. Are there any services that I could shut down which may be causing this? Greg Greg, hear is a site that list xp services and what they do and what you can get rid of. Scan down the page and the link is on the left side of the screen. He also shows you how you can use hardware profiles for safely testing new system settings. Is your pc networked and do you have many or any programs loading on boot..? . |
