    Does it take out the time needed to enter a password? On Server 2008 I got 34 seconds yesterday, and that's on a mirror of Fujitsu 15K drives.

    When I time manually, I could startup as from the second Windows starts loading (POSTing doesn't count) to the time it's ready for ctrl+alt+del.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    actual bootup @ 2 seconds

    Its not taking in total boot time his raid card has to warm up and that takes 30-45 secs in real life.

    impressive but from loading bios to loaded desktop is how long????

    now you want to turn it into pc bootup time

    30-45 sec warm up ? lol this is not the adaptec asr5805.. 3x areca raid cards at once bootup faster than half that

    total pc+windows bootup time is faster than most others windows bootup time in the thread

    not impressive/fastest i can bootup windows.. let me get it down to 3 seconds maybe then

    I said "impressive" but you have to load the raid which can take a long time.

    and how long is bios to load desktop inquiring minds would like to know.


    what raid card are you using??

    guys this is only a windows bootup timer not a pc bootup timer

    boottimer maker: http://www.planetsoft.org/

    This utility is Windows Boot timer. Simply double click on the executable & upon restart, it will display the time taken by your computer to load windows. It does not take into effect the time taken to go through BIOS or BIOS bootup password. It takes the time from the instant BIOS starts loading Windows.
