Hi
My systems config. : –
Mercury M/B, Pentium 4, 80 gb harddisk, 512 mb RAM,
My problem is that whenever I boot into a OS it takes a cosiderably long time to boot upto the desktop.
I have win2000 and Win XP installed.
when I boot with Win 2000 the system seems to get stuck at Windows 2000 welcome screen for about 40-50 seconds and then also gets stcuk at the place where you hit ctrl + alt + del to put your password and user id.
I have tried WIn XP too but that also gets stuck for a while.
One of my friend too has got same config system and his Os takes about 60-70 seconds to boot, but whereas mine takes 200-220 seconds.
I have made sure that unwanted processess and programs have been stopped while booting.
Enough harddisk space is provided.
Checked in BIOS for system start up to see if primary booting is from harddisk and nothing else.
Also made sure that nly a few basic applications only are installed.
I do keep track of Event manager to see if there is any errors that get while booting, but there is no errors there.
With all this steps I am still unable to find an answer to this problem of mine which has led me to go nuts #$#!%$&^%
Could any one of you please help me in getting this solved. Thank you in advance.
