Hi to Everyone,
I have a problem with Windows 7 RC, I downloaded Windows 7 Upgrade Adviser and ran it on my PC and it informed me that my system would run Windows 7, All my hardware and software where all compatable with Windows 7.
I then downloaded Windows 7 RC from Microsoft, formated my hard drive (C partition) and then set about installing Windows 7 RC,(Clean Install) 2 Hours and 20 minute's later the install was finished, On my first reboot it took 24 minute's to display the desktop so I thought that is was still doing last minute install stuff, after spending a bit of time just looking around at my new opperating system, (I made no changes to anything) my next reboot was 23 minute's and the next one after that was the same time, to get to the desktop.
By the way Device manager showed no problems at all, I did not even have to install any motherboard drivers at all Windown 7 did all that for me.
Does everyone that has the same specks as I have, Have the same problem with very,very,slow bootup times, There are a lot of computer's out there with a lot lower specks than I have, How do they run Windows 7. As regards bootup time. I am far from happy with the bootup time,So Sadly I have since uninstalled Windows 7 RC and gone back to Windows XP Pro.
I am very sure that my computer is more than good enough to bootup Windows 7 RC faster than 23 minute's, So something is very wrong, I find it very hard to beleive that my PC won't boot Windows 7 RC a lot faster than 23 minute's,Windows XP Pro does it in About 2 minutes from power on to desktop.
I would be very happy with a bootaup time for Windows 7 RC of about 5 or 6 minutes, if I have to put up with that so be it.
I very much like Windows 7 and I would buy it, but NOT if I can't get my computer to boot up faster.
My local computer shop told me that I needed to buy a fast spin hard drive, and a 4 core processer of about 2.5 Ghz to get a faster boot time, I should (No one should) Have to buy more expencive hardware just to get a faster boot time than 23 minute's for a new opperating system.
So could someone out there PLEASE,PLEASE help me, any helpfull advise I receive I would like to thank you very much (in advance).
My specks are as follows:
I have a 4CoreDual - VSTA motherboard With updated bios : Intel 1.86Ghz 2Core Duo Processer : 3 Gb Ram : NVIDIA 7600 GT Graphics Card with 256 Mb Ram : 150Gb 7500 spin hard drive with 50 Gb of hard drive space for the install, and that is about it.
Please someone help me, The answer is out there someware.
Are there others out there that have to suffer very long bootup time's?
