Well, that's just bizarre. by Arcanum 2003-04-26 14:13:03
I've been running the same Windows 2000 Pro install essentially since it came out. A year ago, I upgraded from a 13GB hard drive to an 80GB, adding a faster UDMA card in the process. I used Norton Ghost to image the old drive to the new one. Ever since, when I booted the system, Windows spent about 3-4 minutes sitting there, doing nothing obvious, but apparently probing the drive channels for some nonexistent (SCSI?) drive.

I just picked up a partial PII-300 box with a Zip drive for $30. I move the Zip drive to my main system where it might actually be useful, and the reboot delay vanishes.

Strange.
