    Incredibly slow boot up

    I'm at a loss why. It boots to the vista load bar and then will go black for about ~1 minute and then the desktop will appear. I have looked at the event viewer and this is what I get:

    Windows has started up:
    Boot Duration : 186469ms
    IsDegradation : false
    Incident Time (UTC) : 21/08/2007 06:44:19

    Then this:

    This driver took longer to initialize, resulting in a performance degradation in the system start up process:
    File Name : aikjdsi1
    Friendly Name :
    Version :
    Total Time : 10379ms
    Degradation Time : 8879ms
    Incident Time (UTC) : 21/08/2007 06:44:19

    That driver changes file name every time I boot up. Also the UTC is wrong, I turned my computer at about 7:20.

    I assume youve checked for spyware, stripped MSCONFIG startup and services etc?

    Yep, I might try a diagnostic start up and if the problem still persists.

    Looks a bit suspect to me, do a full virus, malware, spyware scan.

    Same thing I had with my dieing Samsung HDD. It was working properly in other systems as secondary drive, but booted OS veeeeeery long. Tried to reinstal Windows on it - failed. Then HDD just died.

    Yay, just what I needed to read. Its brand new. It however seems to be tied to a driver.

    Re: Incredibly slow boot up

    Exact same thing happened to me too with a dieng HDD, used to boot slow but no signs of fail so i reinstalled vista and then it gave me messages saying it was failing. Turned out it was a dieng HDD and got it replaced, alls fine now.


    If its new dont worry. Run the WD diagnostics tool available from thier website (this can delete stuff so backup) and it should tell you, then RMA it, or just RMA it anyway.


    ---> Bear in mind it might not be the problem here...

    Ok, I will do that, but what is the warranty on a OEM hard drive?

    Well I ran the full test and it found nothing. I think a full reformat should do the trick if this is really related to a driver. After I finish Bioshock first.
