Need some help here. I just built a new system:
Win 7 Ult.
ASUS P8Z68 V-Pro MB
Intel i7 2600k
16gb Corsair DDR3 Mem.
Intel 510 120gb SSD (Operating Sys. & Programs)
Everything was SMOKING FAST running just like that with only the SSD attached. Decided that I wanted to get a new big HDD to use for storage of pics, music, etc.. I got the Seagate Barracuda XT 3TB HDD and installed it into the unused sata6 port on the board under the SSD, I did not install it on the Marvell sata6 ports. Powered on and used windows 7 to install and format the new HDD. No problem, the computer is seeing the new disc and all 3TB, made new folders and able to transfer data to the new drive. Thought there were no issues until I restarted the computer and it starts pausing at the "starting windows" logo screen for about 50 seconds and then proceeds to let me login with my username and pass. and boots right up into windows fast. It will do this EVERY time. So i decided to disable the new HDD in the device manager and restart, BAM it was as fast as before, so I enabled the HDD and again the 50 second pause.
Can ANYONE tell me why this is happening on boot when this drive gets enabled? I have been searching forum posts and google ALL day with no luck. TIA!! :-)
