could i get some computer help??
    #5317356 - 02/19/06 06:33 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

today my wifes computer decided to poop its pants.. ran fine yesterday, no new files were installed/DL. we have a firewall & viris protection.. but anyway.. on with the problem.. it takes 2 min for her puter to boot and once its done loading up all the ram and HD & cd drives you have to then select if you want to boot from HD,CD, Netboot or removable devices (this is the main problem i cant figure out why its doing this). then after you pick HD boot it takes windows xp about 4 min to load up. so it takes 6-7 min to boot up her computer, were it only took about 2-3 min before.

ive formated it (quick and full) and done a clean install 3 times. messed w/ the system settings. ran check disk and fixmbr and fixboot. pulled all the IDE cables off and pluged them back in about 10 times. tried switching the jumpers around on the HD to all diff positions (back on master now).

i just cant figure out why its taking so long to load everything up and why i have to pick the boot option every time it boots up. but once windows is loaded fully it runs fine. ive been ripping my hair out all damn day over this.. i know its gonna be something stupid but any help would be apricated..

thanks,
will

Try resetting the BIOS to its defaults. I doubt that'll do anything but it's worth a try.

Is the HD making any noises? Does it perform as well as it should after the OS is loaded? Try moving a lot of files at once and see if it takes longer than it should.

If Jerry was alive and had all his fingers he would be the best fly fisherman since Mark in Marks hole.
