Hello! It's me again...
I wanna know this. Is there anything like os that boots very quickly like on HP ProBook series...
So when I boot I could choose one of them and maybe just acces internet or something...

Not really... I have notebook, but windows is booting slowly for me to just check on email or youtube or facebook... so i need something like that
How old is your notebook? Mine boots pretty quick and it's 4 years old with Win 7 Pro 64 with NIS 360. Try using Readyboost with an USB stick. Unless you've got lots of RAM in the notebook than that won't make much difference. Maybe check your startup programs see which ones you don't need starting up right away.
It's brand new :P it's not booting very very slow... It's normal but i want something that i can easy access and just to check email facebook or youtube...
Hello xDinichx.
This is a good point, have a look at the tutorial at the link below to see if there's some things that are running that don't need to be, it may speed you up.
How to Clean up the Startup File

I think this is your computer correct?
if so, it seems upgrading hardware is hard to do so the first option is to slim down what is running.
Over time, and installations, your computer will startup slower if there are programs that are starting up when you boot your computer. you can go through these programs one by one and disable the "Start when computer starts" options in each program. or you can look in the MSConfig (type msconfig in the search box in Start menu) to see what is set to run on startup and unchecking things you know you dont need.
There are a lot of programs as well that install software behind your back. Things like iTunes require or install Quicktime, Bonjour and AppleUpdater; Googletoolbar installs GoogleDesktop and GoogleUpdater... As well things also install other ones like Asktoolbar or Yahootoolbar.
All these things are ways for the company to have you access their service instead of others. It is marketed as a convenience to the User, but instead slows down peoples computers.
The second option would be to look into Dual booting with a Linux Distro. There might be one that is quick and low resources that can handle quick startup and internet.
Edit: i am slow to post but still I think it is a good Idea to look at the MSconfig as you might find programs that are loading up that you dont actually need. (Even on brand new computers)
No i have acer 5714G... but i don't need any speeding up... i need something that i can acess without booting windows...
btw my acer is:
core i5 43om
3gb ddr3 ram
ati hd5470...
I think what the OP wants is to have his PC boot and access a browser to get to the internet w/o it having to be Windows booting, i.e. like a cellphone, blackberry or etc where you hit the browser and you're there.
Even the devices I posted about have their own unique OS to operate they just aren't Windows unless the device is using Windows CE. I think having a cellphone, or Blackberry would be the solution if your carrier supports the internet, any PC or MAC is going to need to boot to an OS to run a browser.
