!Bootvis says 180sec long disk init!!!
I recently installed XP Home SP1 on a fresh MAXTOR 160 Gig hard drive
(6Y160P0) and I get a horrendously long boot. Bootvis says I spend over 160 seconds doing the disk init step ( I see no flickering of the drive LED during this period). Any thoughts as to the cause? Bios Setting (MSI MS-6712) maybe? After bootup everything seems to be fine. |

!Bootvis says 180sec long disk init!!!
Update:
In the BIOS, I had the onboard IDE controller enabled for both primary and secondary connectors and had the long boots. When I set my BIOS to have only the primary enabled, the boot time was only 20 seconds or so which is great. The downside is my CD-ROM was not available. I have the HD on the master connector of the First IDE slot and the CD is the Master on the second IDE slot. my name wrote in : I recently installed XP Home SP1 on a fresh MAXTOR 160 Gig hard drive (6Y160P0) and I get a horrendously long boot.

After bootup everything seems to be fine. Aside from Enabled/Disable there will be additional settings for the ide controlers. It's not uncommon for those additional settings to be on a completely different page/tab/sub-menu. I'd re-enable the secondary and take a look at that stuff.
