Two scenarios:
1) Boot order: hard drive, cdrom, none
Result: about 4 seconds at the "Loading Operating System" screen
I've also noticed that if I use F12 to boot from the cdrom there's a long pause before it loads.
2) Boot order: cdrom, hard drive, none
Result: about 20 seconds at the "Loading Operating System" screen
Even if there is a cd in the drive, it still takes 20 seconds before it starts spinning.
I'm sure it has something to do with my bios configuration. I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this and determined which particular setting caused it.
I loaded optimized defaults and set the parameters I run with one at a time, but it wasn't until the last one (boot order) that the issue arose. I'm hoping to avoid doing that again.
Thanks.
