How long does it take your computers to boot up?

5 to 6 minutes sometimes.

Huhhhh.....!?!

Your specs state you have an ASUS P5B-VM MOBO.

Is that this MOBO? Newegg.com - ASUS P5B-VM LGA 775 Intel G965 Express Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

If so, WTH are you doing running off of that HDD?

With all due respect, you are either BSing the forum or you need to scrape together $50 and get a new SATA II HDD.

All right it was just a guess.

Okay final results are in and the grand total is less than a minute!!

Question remains: Why use a PATA/IDE drive (an old one to boot) when the ASUS P5B-VM MOBO has 5 SATA ports?

If you want better HD-Tune results upgrade the HDD ro a SATA II drive. In the meantime, my suggestion that the critical data on that drive be backed up stands.

I use it because my DVD drive uses IDE cables too.

You can mix and match SATA and IDE on the same PC. And you can also get a new DVD drive that uses SATA.

Okay, Thats cool because I didn't know that!
