2 minute stall during W2k Server Bootup
LockedThis morning I came in and applied the MS02-063 hotfix and rebooted as usual. During the windows startup process (progress bar at bottom, W2k Server bitmap background) the server seems to stall for a minute or two about halfway through.
when listening to the drive, I can hear it trying to access something. To me it sounds similar to this. (R = sound of reading) (- = second pause)
R—–R——R——R—–R——RR—-R——RRRR
then it repeats this pattern for around 2 minutes beforecontinuing to load.I checked the event logs and couldn’t find anything solid that could be causing the problem.
Tried to boot up to last known good config. but that had the same problems.
Enabled Boot Logging and cant see anything really wrong with that either.
any suggestions? The server seems to be running fine once it starts up (possibly a little lathargic)
Thanks for your time.
