| 173667 | 2003-09-07 20:47:00 | Hi, I would like to know where abouts in the booting-up sequence do I start timing, and where do i stop timing? (So i can see how long it takes my computer to boot up). Keep in mind that my PC has dual-booting - after the first few moments of showing 'detail' about the computer, it then comes to a screen where you have to select either XP or 98. Thanks, caffy |

| 173669 | 2003-09-08 06:04:00 | Its personal preference really. I start timing after hitting enter at the OS selector. I don't include the time in the BIOS because you can't do much about it. Besides its only a couple of seconds on newer computers. I stop timing when the desktop is loaded and there is no disk activity because that is when the computer is actually usable. |

| 173671 | 2003-09-08 07:45:00 | I time it from the time I press the pwr button/hot keys and stop it as soon as the AV finishes loading (usually last thing to finish loading). | Archibald (180) | ||
