I've been having problems with Windows 7 booting very slow, rebooting is quick. Been following the advice in http://www.msfn.org/...yresume-issues/

However xperf won't convert my current etl file to xml, saying there is 40982 Events lost.

One I did convert shows PreSMSS taking over 200k ms.

starting the Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS takes a lot of time. Next reading the NTFS meta data is slow. Connect the HDD to a different port and make sure you use AHCI.

Sorry, no difference. Was already using AHCI. Checked the HD with chkdsk and no errors, nor in event viewer.

to which ports do you connect the HDD? Is this a port from the chipset or a extra SATA chip ?

Think its the chipset, it (and a second HDD) are plugged into the SATA 2 ports on the main board, GA-X58A-UD5 rev 1 http://www.gigabyte....spx?pid=3304#ov
