Hi Andre, I bought a new SSD and installed Win8 on it, however it takes >5 minutes to boot. I uploaded a trace here: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=8C61D2826A9723A4%212463 I noticed a lot of "The IO operation at logical block address 1244e206 for Disk 0 was retried." events in event viewer. Also an error about "The shadow copies of volume \\?\Volume{7257efcf-6d40-11e3-be65-806e6f6e6963} were aborted during detection because a critical control file could not be opened." Could it be the SSD is bad? I uploaded the system log here: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=8C61D2826A9723A4%212644 Thanks!
