Windows 7 has a faster boot time than any previous version of Windows. Updating the system drivers would be at the top of the list. Reducing the number of start up programs would also produce quicker boot times. If the time is exceptionally 'hung' the likely culprit may be a driver loading that is holding things up. A hard drive like this that reads at 200+GB/sec. is the piece of equiptment that gave me the quickest boot times I have experienced to date. Your hard drive is not 'slow', but 50GB.sec. read times doesn't compare when 200+ is available

Well, try clicking Start>acessories>Run. Type msconfig and then enter. On the Startup tab 'uncheck' All and reboot. Only the programs needed to run the OS will load on restart. Also, load up the latest MB system drivers listed on the MB's online product page.

In BIOS there may be a 'quick boot' option. Enabling that would skip the BIOS checking the system RAM and other functions every time you boot the system.

Be sure to check for the latest driver available for the wireless adapter.

A couple of other things that could make a difference. From Start menu open Command Prompt. type in sfc /scannow and enter. This is the system file checker that will repair any errant files it finds on the system. Also download and install CCleaner and run the cleanup and registry sweep. Get that princess running smooth... :lol:
