SSD +2HDD's Slow boot fast shutdown

astroboywarrior · Aug 29, 2013

Hi
I just installed windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on Kingston SSD.
The problem is it takes 4-5 minutes to show login screen but when shutting down it only takes 5 seconds.

I have used Raid(XHD) for SSD install. (Kingston series ssdNOW V-series 64gb).
I have another 2 HDD's;500gb and 1Tb(Both WD)
I have enabled SMART.

My Motherboard: GA-Z68XP-UD3R (rev. 1.0)
Spec:http://www.gigabyte.in/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3911&dl=#sp

Processor Intel i5

SSD is in "White" SATA3 port and both HDD's are in "Grey" SATA3 port.

I havent installed any RAID softwares like marvel etc.

I hope this is enough information to solve the problem.
If anything is missing please ask me.

did you make sure AHCI mode or RAID mode is enabled on the controller the SSD is on?

envy14tpe · Aug 29, 2013

what he said. Make sure you set to AHCI in the BIOS. Also, don't install OS with HDDs plugged in. Do it on SSD then plug in HDD after.

My BIOS has 3 options.
IDE,RAID(XHD) and AHCI

SSD is on RAID(XHD)

Did I made a mistake?

and yes I have installed os on ssd separately and then plugged in HDD's.

I will check for performance of ssd alone ....keep you posted...

ok grab as ssd and see what performance you are getting on the ssd.

on the top left for controller both options shoul be green if its running in AHCI mode.

If i've already installed it on the SSD with the HDD installed, is there any way to fix it?

E3Sniper :

You could do a fresh install and install the OS and all programs again. This time with only SSD plugged in.

Do you know of a program that can mirror my SSD onto my HDD, or will the windows backup system work?

I think you can create a disk image, however if you are trying to install OS on SSD again you are better off doing a fresh install. Yeah that sucks but you won't have any issues then.

unplug the hdd, boot from the windows install disk, go to repair your pc and run startup repair.

In the future please start a new thread for your problems and questions. Its not polite to intrude on someone else issues. Thanks
