MagicAndre1981 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 ok, install your Windows completely and after installing all programs run the optimization.
rovama Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Done man! Check this out:timing bootDoneViaExplorer="25209" bootDoneViaPostBoot="61909" 25s to desktop and 62s to finish completely That's a lot of improvement. Thank you so much for your help Edited January 23, 2011 by rovama
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 it is 52s, you have to subtract the 10s idle time.But this is really an improvement to the over 200s at the beginning best regardsAndré

Faiien Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 So to clarify Andre, in the future if I want to defragment my hardrive I should use the default disk defragmenter under system tools?
MagicAndre1981 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 yes, only use the Windows included tool and uninstall all 3rd party defrag tool.
masteripper Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Hello,Has anyone tried this for Windows 2008 r2 ....?I have this Dreamspark License and convert it to Workstation....and yes i would really like some boot improvement
MagicAndre1981 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 Afaik Server 2008 R2 doesn't have Superfetch/ReadyBoost so you can't speedup. Use Windows 7 instead.
masteripper Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks for the info...too bad.....maybe sp1 will bring gifts...
TheWindowMan Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 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 bootxperf: warning: applying restriction of access for trace processingxperf: 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 bootxperf: warning: applying restriction of access for trace processingxperf: error: 02_summary_end.xml: Failed to open output file [0x80070005].Thanks.
MagicAndre1981 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 you don't have the permissions to create the XML in the system32 folder. That's why it failed.
TheWindowMan Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 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 ?
