slow boot up

[sparksy]

well im still having problems with this new rig. win 7 takes up tp 2 nins to boot up
the HD is in SATA port 1
i have quick boot enabled in bios
master HD i sthe correct one selected
boot device priority is HD
all 4 cores enabled
64 bit system selected
extreme memory =profile 1
no raid thingy
performance inhance turbo



everything else seems ok in it. ive been on forums on how to tweak the bios for the GA-Z68AP-D3 BUT TO NO AVAIL

im wondering if it is actually the HD or win 7 install. it did keep all the old files in windows old folders... and it is saying no internet access ? but here i am.. online

ive de-fraged using a program that gives you the option to put system files at the start of the HD.

lost now.. any ideas

Did you just move over the harddrive from the old computer or is it a fresh Win 7 install?

well i re- installed it.. but kept all the old files and folders.... do u think a re-formating and fresh install will be it ?

oh and i ran dsck check and it didnt find anything

I found XP upgrade to Vista with keeping files was pretty slow on boot up too but a fresh Vista install on the same PC was pretty quick. Only problem was installing everything again which was a pain.

yeah thats why i kept the files... does your head in re- installing all the programs. also the updates are anoying.. may be an idea to do all updates first befor i install all the other crap.. seems like some updates can make things go screwey

Best thing to do is to install Windows and all the updates and programs you use to one disc then all your personal files to another.

Then create an image your Windows one when you are happy with it, then if it does fuck up, all you need to do is restore the image.

done it... its booting up much faster.... see how it goes..

got all my apps re-installed already

i have auslogics disk defrag which ive used instead of the windows version.. its has a option to put all your system files at the start of your HD for faster boot up ect....
