MagicAndre1981 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 This, along with setting the amount of cores used at boot in msconfig->boot->advanced options from the default 1 to 8 on my hp envy 14 has halved my boot up time to just under a minute only xbootmgr did it, Windows ALWAYS uses all cores.http://www.withinwindows.com/2008/08/09/tweaking-myth-increase-boot-performance-for-multi-core-users-with-msconfig/@Marianrun sfc /Scannow to detect and fix missing Windows files.

Marian Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 @MagicAndre1981: did that and it didn't help. But I did find a problem: the ImagePath of SysMain was incorrect, so I fixed that and I am not getting the "Error 2" error, but I am getting another error:Any thoughts on this?

Marian Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I have installed all the updated for Windows 7 SP1 and Superfetch started to work again.Then I tried to speed up the boot process, but an error occurred at the last step (I think), then I followed the steps presented here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/wptk_v4/thread/447f8512-9a33-43bd-a1cf-f0ca25b4b33a and the process worked fine! But bootDoneViaPostBoot shows -1 on both xml files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volting Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Hi Andre,I have eliminated as much as I could from startup, first using autoruns. Then I ran the comand as suggested in your first post which appeared to run fine, and reduced my boot time from 3.5 minutes to 2 ( according to soluto)But when I run the command to generate the second xml file I get following warning, and the xml file is emptyxperf: warning: applying restriction of access for trace processing 7931 Events were lost in this trace. Data may be unreliable..... Some potential issues,1] The readyboost services doesnt appear in services list (services.exe) although it does appear in the registry and its start command is set to 02] OS shows as win7RTM in the xbootmgr.log although it is actually win7 with sp1 (home premium x64, acer oem)3] This is the only other susipcious line in the log (I think)Failed to save prefetcher data (C:\Windows\prefetch\layout.ini) in cab archive (stage 1, error 0)I carried the whole procedure 3 times and the result is the same everytime, any ideas to what the problem maybe?Regards,VEdit:The warning suggests increasing the MinBuffers, MaxBuffers and BufferSize for xperf, I tried this but I still get the warning Edited August 14, 2011 by volting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 run sfc /scannow to detect missing/damaged Windows files.Also install the (first 2) hotfixes from this topic:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=152622 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volting Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) I had the first hotfix installed already, installed the second.. and I ran the sfc / scannow which didnt find any problemsI ran the trace for two reboots and checked the first etl file, which gave the same error as before (when trying to generate the second xml file ) upon opening.

MagicAndre1981 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 in this case the HDD is the bottleneck and very busy. Open the etl with a doubleclick and look under the DISK IO graph which programs assess the HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volting Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) I check all the graphs but I dont see any mention of what applications are accessing the hdd.edit: Nevermind I see that you can right click the graph for more info, Ill check now...
