Re: possible ways to speed up the USB boot

Mohamed,

Assuming you are using USB 2.0 to boot, there are some general tips you should follow to optimize your XPe runtime boot time:
- Optimize (set up) your BIOS settings to minimize the POST time.
- Set the timeout to zero in boot.ini.
- Obviously minimize the image footprint. Include only components that are necessary to meet your system specs. Use custom
shell/minlogon/etc. where applicable.
- Disable/delay/set to manual start for the services you may not need to start early at the boot.
- If your system is networked, switch to static IP if accepted.
- Use MS tool called BootVis to analyze/debug/optimize the system boot time.
- If Explorer Shell used, minimize the system RAM used by switching to "best performance" advanced system settings, remove
desktop background, change power profile to the Always On or similar.
- Use product features like HORM if applicable. Or just use hibernation or stand by if accepted.
- etc.


Search XPe product documentation and this NG archive for more tips. This topic has been discussed and covered in great details last
few years.
