I have noticed over the past few months my boot time is getting longer and longer. I have no spyware, viruses, etc running. Services running are pretty minimal at this time and I only have the AMD Dualcore patch and one NVIDA (NVCLP) service set at start up. I ran bootvis and I justed wanted to know what the results mean. All of the colums are pretty low with the exception of the 2nd collumn on the chart which is very high (1800 I/O SEC). I'm not sure how to interpret this. Tried a number of things including cleaning out Prefetch files,

I also get the warning Disc Write Caching is disabled.

Here are my specs:

AMD 4800 X2
2 Gigs of OCZ DDR 400
Main Hard Drive: SATA 200 Gig at 7200RPM with 74% free space
Second Hard Drive: IDE 120 Gig at 7200 RPM with 45% free space

Thanks

Tell us a few things before we try to help you:

Why isn't your AV in Startup?

What is your maintenance routine?

Why isn't Write Caching enabled?

Have you done Anti-Virus & Spyware scans with aggressive products?

Did you know that the Bootvis routines are built into XP?
