| 384130 | 2005-08-27 08:57:00 | Today I did a complete clean install of XP Pro on my computer but this time it takes twice as long for it to load up as it did before the re-install. Would anyone know why that might be? and does anyone know if I can get it to load up faster? Thanks, |

| 384131 | 2005-08-27 09:02:00 | one first thing to do is to remove some services... Here (www.blackviper.com) YAY Black Viper is BACK!!! |

| 384133 | 2005-08-27 09:24:00 | The links was very useful. I stopped some of the services that were safe to do, but noticed only a very slight speed up of boot-time. godfather, I believe I need to go into the BIOS for that, right? Could this have been altered just by re-installing Windows? I'll check, where in the BIOS can I do that? |

| 384134 | 2005-08-27 09:35:00 | Go into device manager / ide ata/atapi controllers. Click on primary / secondary ide channel entries / advanced settings. This will tell u whether theyre in DMA mode, or if u have nero, use infotool / config tab |

| 384137 | 2005-08-27 09:45:00 | Go into device manager / ide ata/atapi controllers. Click on primary / secondary ide channel entries / advanced settings. This will tell u whether theyre in DMA mode, or if u have nero, use infotool / config tab Thanks, checked, they're both in DMA mode. Takes about 30-35 secs from when you see the Win XP logo until you get the logon screen. Is that a long wait? it used to be shorter, I think only 10 secs. |

Would anyone know why that might be? and does anyone know if I can get it to load up faster? Thanks, Not long ago I've done the same thing(clean install xp pro) and instead of putting the OS files on C:\WINDOWS, I put them on C:\WINXP. I got the same problem as you with a slower load time, I then do the same as what Speedy says: Going to device manager....and selecting Ultra DMA mode. Things start to improve from then on. |
