I am looking for assistance in shortening my boot time to some thing reasonable. Slow boot up with windows 7 64 bit. Asrock Z68 Extreme4 motherboard, 16 GB ram, AMD Saphire 5770 video, 240 GB OCZ Agility Sata3 SSD, 1 TB WD black internal drive, 3 TB WD30EZRX internal drive. Boots in 19 s after bios with internal drives disconnected, 22 s with 1 TB drive connected, but 97 s when 3 TB drive is added. Last bios update for MB installed. Latest Windows updates installed. No firmware update for the WD30EZRX drive that I am aware of. FWIW, I orignially used ghost to transfer the contents of a 1 TB drive to the 3 TB drive, which turned the drive into a 2 TB drive requiring a removal of partion etc to restore to a functioning 3 TB drive. I ran trace but I will admit it means little to me. It might mean more if I disconnected the 3 TB drive and ran it then so I could compare the 22 s boot to the 97 s boot with the 3 TB drive added, but this is not really my strong suit. I believe I have attached the trace file, but if not I'm sure you will let me know. Thanks! Link added: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/84817323/TraceLog120606.zip
