Startup takes a long time
Hi there. I installed windows 7 on an old Dell Dimension, just because I didn't want to throw it away and I like a challenge. It worked great up until I installed another hard drive on a separate ide channel, along with the cdrom (although I tried several combinations of slave-master). Fact is, now (after the hookup of the second HDD, it takes forever for Windows to startup ( a good four or five minutes). Once up, the system recognizes all the drives and there are no problems. But when I need to restart it, wow! Any ideas?
