ok, some progress. If I disable all network adapters my system boots in 20
seconds. All adapters are configured with static IP so, there is no DHCP
involved. What does the system do with network that requires so much time?
Its almost as if I can boot with disabled network and put the network enable
thing in Startup folder because enabling it takes 2 seconds.
does anybody know what commands will enable and bring up a network interface?

You mean its not supported anymore. I thought it did more than just tune a.
few things and was useful in finding where the time was spent. I have used it
before on a different machine to find that most of my boot time there was too
much IO to $mft, which was found to be heavily (7 fragments) fragmented (this
is not the current problem because MFT has only two - minimum possible -
fragments in this case). How do you find out about where the boot time is
spent without bootvis? What is the microsoft supported way of finding this?
I did the 'diagnostic msconfig' you mentioned in the other reply. Apart from
making it ugly, it actually booted in 3 minutes instead. So, no its not
services/startup.
My system boots fine, within 15 seconds it says "loading personal settings",
shows me my desktop background (but no desktop items), and then it sits there
for upto 1-2 minutes before painting my desktop items.
This machine is using two WD raptors in raid 0, with AMD 3800 dual core and
should fly during the boot.

I am trying to debug a very slow startup but bootvis dies with an error:
"number of logical drives in this configuration is 0, invalid system
information". Does anybody what is the reason for this error? Is it because
my system is on a RAID?
