I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64bit on a Dell Precision M4400 laptop and whenever I boot it it takes ages ( >5mins average).
This doesn't seem right as it's a fairly beasty piece of kit, It get's a 5.9 on the WEI with the lowest score being the Hard disk.
Core 2 Duo P8600 @ 2.4GHz
4GB RAM
150GB 7200RPM Hard Disk with 16MB buffer
How can I tell which part(s) of the boot sequence it taking so long so I might disable / avert the issue and improve the boot time?
The machine is part of a Windows Active Directory and I regularly use it outside the corporate network. Neither situation improves performance.
In my user profile on the AD have a login script which mounts 12 network drives using the following commands
net use I: /delete
net use I: \\machine\share /persistent:no
In the startup folder on the start menu I have Sophos and Dropbox. I do have a bunch of services as I'm a developer. There are 2 versions of SQL server, Microsoft Azure developer tools and a few other bits and pieces. Ideally I'd like not to have to disable these; I'd like to see exactly how long each item is taking during boot and make educated decisions from there.
It might help if you would tell us your computer's "Windows Experience Index". – Hello71 – 2010-07-14T14:27:37.200
@Hello71 I already did. 2nd paragraph "It get's a 5.9 on the WEI with the lowest score being the Hard disk." – Greg B – 2010-07-14T20:00:43.860
