[How to speed up boot process under Windows Vista or Windows 7]

what are your hardware specs? 80s is still a bit too slow.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3.10 GHZ

Asus M3N78-EM motherboard.

2x2GB DDR2

500GB SATA II HDD

Nvidia GeForce 9800gt 1024mb

Thank You MagicAndre1981.

Even after using the Open Elevated Command it didn't work, but i copied the bootPrep_BASE+CSWITCH_1 files to another partition on the drive. It worked.

01_summary_start

bootDoneViaPostBoot="129079"

01_summary_end

bootDoneViaPostBoot="90403"

If i am right it reads 129secs and 90secs respectively.

Are these timings good.

It runs on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with 4GB RAM and a processor clock speed of 3.10GHz

you don't have the permissions to create the XML in the system32 folder. That's why it failed.

I disabled UAC, but still no go.

Is there any other way that i can convert the .etl to .xml ?

Awesome , never knew this was possible.

I followed all the steps and i see some time improvements, but when i run the export xml command i get an error message in the console. I cannot create the .xml result file to determine the time.

Here is what i get in the CMD Shell. (Administrator Rights Enabled)

C:\Windows\system32>xperf -i bootPrep_BASE+CSWITCH_1.etl -o 01_summary_start.xml -a boot

xperf: warning: applying restriction of access for trace processing

xperf: error: 01_summary_start.xml: Failed to open output file [0x80070005].

C:\Windows\system32>xperf -i boot_BASE+CSWITCH_1.etl -o 02_summary_end.xml -a boot

xperf: warning: applying restriction of access for trace processing

xperf: error: 02_summary_end.xml: Failed to open output file [0x80070005].

Thanks.
