I have an HP Pavillion dv6000 series laptop, Vista Business 32bit.
The primary drive was a 4200rpm 250GB SATA drive which I want to replace with a 7200rpm Hitachi 320GB drive.
I used Ghost 12 to create an image, put the new drive in, and restored the image.
---> The problem: With the new drive, the system takes about 25min to boot to the login page, after that the system runs normally. Windows Experience index drive score went from 3.8 to 5.7 and system runs much better...except for the boot up process.
It was on the domain, I removed it, but no difference in bootup time.
I removed the IDE/SATA controllers and Drive from device manager...rebooted several times...no effect on bootup time.
Event logs are the same booting on both drives...no unusal entries.
Software/system is pretty basic:
Windows Vista Business 32bit
Core2Duo
2GB RAM
Symantec Endpoint AV 11.0.5(removed, no effect)
Intel Matrix drivers (removed, reintsalled, both no effect)
To answer some questions often asked:
There are no BIOS settings to change.
There are no viruses/spyware.
Adding more memory won't help.
Using MSconfig to remove startup processes has no effect.
System passes MemTestx86 and SpinRite (memory and drive bootable diagnostic CDs)
So.... any thoughts?
