HCall me Stephello Miss, My OS is on the SDD FYI, sorry if i didnt make it clear. I accidentally booted the SDD on its own, and it went to windows like a breeze. Hope this information helps. I will try the diskpart again., Wondering - did you change the drive letters ? if so move anything you want to keep off the other HDDs and then full format them.
Another thing is you should have the SSD on the SATA port to make it Disk 0, not the HDD.
In BIOS you also should have a HDD priority setting apart from Boot Priority, make the SSD #1 in that. You also have two active partitons, there should be only one, the OS partition.
After consideration i decided that one of the harddrives are holdig the system down. So through the process of elimination i found the older IDE drive to be the cause of these slow boot ups. I thank everyone for their time! +1s to everyone. I did everyone's advice and managed to get the SSD to boot as the OS. Im not sure who to thank, so everyone got rep from me =]
Great job, renren. So, you are booting OK now? If so, you did very good. Congratulations on solving your problem.
Sorry for coming in late.
In your screenshot Disk 0, Drive D: is marked Active. It is not recommended to have 2 disks marked Active in a system. The BIOS will choke trying to figure out which Active partition to hand off to.
Only Disk 2, Drive C: should be marked active (The SSD).
You could recover use of Disk 0 without boot delay if you remove the Active flag:
Partition - Mark as Inactive
As suggested several times now, the OS partition should be in DISK0 position if at all possible, and only it should be marked Active.
You were correct to unplug all other HD's to test which was slowing boot as that would have been my first suggestion besides moving OS to DISK0 if possible and marking all others Inactive.
