boot is ok. You can improve the performance by using AHCI, not IDE/ATAPI mode:

IDE\DiskOCZ-NOCTI

Also look in the trace if MSE causes high CPU or Disk IO usage. Postboot is with 18s very long, so check if you really need all tool at startup.

@Magic Andre,

How would I do that? I checked the bios and the SATA is set to AHCI as opposed to Compatibility Mode.

Thanks,
SonofNun

[MagicAndre1981]

hmm, this is strange. I have no idea why IDE is shown.

check startup with autoruns to reduce the 18s delay.

@WillMahler

try this update, maybe it includes the fix for your slow booting issue:

Every time I turn on my laptop, it runs a trace in the background, which creates the .etl files that completely fill up the rest of my SSD space (3-4Gb). How can I get it to stop tracing every time I boot?

[MagicAndre1981]

run xbootmgr -remove. This removes the logging.

@magicAndre

Thanks! That worked.

Hi
To start create a summary xml file, i type xperf /tti -i standby_BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER_1.etl -o summary_boot.xml -a boot

message is:

xperf : error: summary_boot.xml: failed to open output file (0x80070005)

Tried even with elevated cmd. Did not help

Any idea how to generate the xml ? Or can anyone understand the content of my etl file to analyze this directly ?

[MagicAndre1981]

do you have write permissions to C:\temp?

[zurzach7]

Yes, indeed. The etl file is also there.

[MagicAndre1981]

ok, so open the command prompt, and type C: ENTER next cd\temp and now run the xperf command to generate the summary xml.

SMSSInit is slow (81s):

compress the ETl, upload it to mediafire.com and send me the link.

[Lenaud01]

sent you the ETI thanks Andre

[MagicAndre1981]

C:\Windows\system32\autochk.exe scans your HDDs and this causes the delay. Check the SMART values of your OCZ-VERTEX2 and your 4 SAMSUNG HD103SJ Drives.

[Lenaud01]

I disabled autochk via registry and it seem's to have made the boot to what I expect thank you very much andre

thank you very much andre

You're welcome

[Lenaud01]

did you see anything that could give me a even faster boot Andre? or performance overall

[MagicAndre1981]

make a new trace and send this to me. I look at it a bit more in detail.

[zurzach7]

After opening the summary_boot.xml I get the message

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
