Time to format....

[Submeg]

My bootup time is at 3 and a half minutes...very lame. Time to format and see what it gets to....

Format is done, boot time down to one minute

I can turn pc on, go to loo and then have a shower.

The PC is then just about ready to run.

Last format was about 6 weeks ago or so.


Mine is hardware related im sure. it has to be the CPU, not the HDD which HP replaced!

Geez! Last time I did a format was six months ago what are you doing with that thing?

Both my machines take about 1-2 mins to load fully...

Whereas the 'Miggy' does it in less than 10 seconds!!!

PC software is so process-intensive. Gah!

Mine probably boots up in about 2 to 3 minutes, but it is using Windows 2000, and I can't say for sure the amount of time because I havn't measuered it.

I do have to wait quite a while after logging on though, and I don't have any programmes loading on startup.

This installation was probably made in late 2006. I was going to reinstall it all and maybe reorganise the way that some things are arranged on my HDs, but decided I couldn't be bothered and that I would stick with it as it is.
