I have a HP7700 processor that when booted remains at the hp splash screen for around 5 minutes before it proceeds on to booting the hard drive. If any f key (ie f10,f9 etc) is pressed it will go to that function but once again wait an inordinate amount of time before proceeding. I have reflasshed the bios but it does not seem to help. Any ideas?

Thanks
Jim

My HP Pavilion is doing exactly the same thing jsadin described. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Obviously something is causing this but you are unable to 'see' it happening because of the splash screen.

So, go into your BIOS and turn the splash screen OFF.

That way, the next time you boot you'll get the DOS screen in full view and be able to see what the system is waiting for. :)

Do you perhaps have an external hard drive that is not connected or maybe a network drive that has been internally mapped?

It may be a driver that is corrupt or missing.

[i]The delay could be caused by the system trying to find something that doesn't exist.[/i]
