Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Very slow startup after installing external Harddisk

dagmar44 · 01-27-2008, 11:23 AM

If I start the PC without the harddisk connected, the startup is fast, like it was before.

But when I click on my account, it takes 5 minutes before i can start any program.

I don't have any virus or malware or something.

I'm going to try to put my PC in sleep-mode instead of logging off completely. Then the PC doesn't have to recognize the harddisk everytime I start up.
Maby that will help??
