My problem is that my PC boots slow when a external drive (USB) is connected. Without the external hard disk start XP takes no time.
I had an IDE drive with XP and the WD My Book Office 1TB and USB legacy support disabled in the BIOS.
My IDE drive was broken. I have replaced a SATA disk, reconnected with the motherboard.
I have XP and Office 2003 to put the disc, as before, including all service packs.
The BIOS settings are the same as the old working configuration.
Is it possible that the system tries to boot the external drive as external drive and now both are SATA? Since I use the IDE drive had no problems, or is there a Windows setting that I need to adjust.
I have indexing on the external drive off and the priority to "performance" made ..... but this has not led to a shorter boot time.
I know it is not more .....
