My mates NEW pc has a SATAII 160Gb maxtor hdd i have the same but only 80gb.. anywho his pc boots much faster than mine, here are his specs, mine are in my sig
Athlon 4000+ X2
1Gb OCZ 800Mhz DD2
Socket am2 asus mobo with MCP 430 (Nvidia)
on boot mine hangs a lot.. (no hdd activity) witch is probaly the casue of the slow boot but any ideas why?? I had this same thing in XP and i aksed on another forum about this quite a while ago and they all said the same thing! Windows is loading files and it takes awhile.. i said.. nooo the hdd is not doing anything so it aint loading bugger all but they just ignored me and stood by there answer... hope someone here can give me a better answer than that.
