Re: slow boot

If System Restore was monitoring the drive you removed then the act of
removing the drive would render restore points created before removal
unsable. You should only have System Restore monitoring the system
volume.

Are you connecting to the internet through a router. If yes remove the
power supply cable from the router, wait 5 minutes and then plug it back
into the router.

Hello, Gerry, first chance I've had to address this problem. The
recurring errors in the "System" entry were:
1. The System Restore Service terminated with the following error: The
Device is not ready.
2. The Sytem Restore Initiation has failed.
3. Event Type: Error
Event Source: Dhcp
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1002
Date: 8/20/2007
User: N/A
Computer: Viola (my wife's computer)
Description:
The IP address lease 192.168.1.100 for Network Card with network
address 00115B38D9F7 has been denied by DHCP server 192.168.1.1 (The
DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).
I went to DOS, sc query, and got this message:
"The Specified Service does not exist as an installed service"
(I had to type this, as "paste" didn't work here, but I appreciate
your detailed instructions)

I don't know what "service" they're talking about, can you help?

Have you looked at the Warning and Error Reports in the System and
Application logs in Event Viewer?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No
Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear
in a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you
should double click for further information. You can copy using copy
and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further
information.
http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp
(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which
appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close
Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the
body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting
from Event Viewer.

Since I removed my slave HDD it take 28 minutes to boot. There no
error messages and after boot it runs normally. So far took these
actions:
1. set jumper to CS and master
2 reinstalled an additional drive trying both master-slave jumpers
and CS: there is no change.
Initially master was the current 300GB and slave 200 GB. In the
above test I replace the slave with an old 4GB.
What else can I do to remedy this problem?
