Vista Slow Bootup

Using Vista Home Premium
T7200, 2Gb ram 120GB 5400rpm sata HDD
when vista boot up, most of the time it is doing File system scan on my C and D drive. i did not have a improper shut down of the PC but why is it scanning everytime i boot up the OS?
Is there a way to disable that scan it is taking ard 30-40 sec to scan both my drive and the result out is always Clean.

 

Are you sure there is no improper shut down? Maybe it happens just before the computer shuts down. Does Vista display any proplems or incompatabilities?

I would try doing one real scan under windows with chdsk /f /s This will reboot the computer and scan the disk fully. See if it finds anything and if it still happens after this.

 

have u looked into ur startup processes and services to see if somehow the scan is being "scheduled"?

cheers ...

 

With 2gb ram you shouldn't have a problem. I agree with wave and qhn.

 

i tried chkdsk /f
restart and scan . after that i restart again sill he same still show me file system check on C and D complete and its clean.

check msconfig never see any startup processes that do scan disk go to task manager also never see any..

 

the next thing i can think of is the possibility that certain apps, by shutting, still left some traces that caused vista to think that the disk is being "disturbed"

u can try to close up all 3rd party apps first before shutting down vista and see if this goes away

cheers ...

 

i try start up then shut down straight away without opening any appp. still same ...

 

short of doing a re.install or blaming hardware failure, let us try one more shot at it:
. start ur system up
. wait until everything is being idled
. make a note of what r being running (task.manager -> processes)
. give us a pic of ur running processes
. download cCleaner, and take a look at start.up options; give us a pic on this as well
. shut down
. restart

i take it that C: & D: r NTFS format?

cheers ...

 

there u go . thanks for ur help
both partition is NTFS

 

All looks good to me. Dont think spy ware is causing the problem.
I had a similar problem with XP a while ago and i had to fix it like this:
After start up go to cmd and type "CHKNTFS /X C:" This stops windows from scanning on the next boot only.
then reboot and do a full check disk with "Chkdsk /f /r C:"
after the scan you need to set one more command "fsutil dirty query c:"

Since you have 2 partition have to do all commands for both c: and d:

I hope this will fix it under vista too it did for XP.

 

i would try wave's recommendation and see as well

on a personal note from ur pics (thx):
. TkBellexe is a useless process, i would personally getting rid of it
. coolmon - u have with installer or just copy folder? (1)
. rmclock - same as coolmon? (2)
. if u r not using IE (i see that u r using FF), then u might just want to disable MDM.exe (" mdm.exe is associated with Microsoft Windows process debugging system. It allows the user to debug Internet Explorer errors by using a script interface tool. This is a non-essential process.") i got mine disabled!

i would take coolmon (1) from the start up list - start and reboot and see; same thing with rmclock. U can always put them back if it makes no difference, just trying some process of elimination.

cheers ...

 

try all recommendation yet same result
therefore do a system restore to factor setting using HP recovery disc.
and this is wat i got.





seem still the same and F is my thumbdrive that i forget to remove before i restart the pc.

 

anything out of the ordinary from ur bios setting? review the settings, save them and chose the default load and see.. it is just totally odd from a new install, unless the drive makes vista thinks that it is not clean (bad hardware)

cheers ...

 

One more command...
chkntfs /x c: d:

This is what MS says about it link

 

i try my friend vista machine and notice that his also got the above file system check .

tried chkntfs /x c: d:
and i will get
"windows has finished checking the disk" message. and it take the same time to display this message compare to not disable scan disk

 

Don't you just love Vista?

 

I had to install Vista twice. First time I installed Vista it was fine. Adding programs one a time and reboot after each intall. Suddenly boot up took longer than usual. At least I knew the last program was causing the slow boot up (can't remember what it was). Disabled some of the startup programs that automatically loaded. Not only did boot-up took awhile, now shutting down also took longer.

Out of frustration I went ahead and re-installed and was much better. Number one problem was lack of driver support. Will wait 6 mos or until the drivers are available for my programs then will re-install again. Love the eye candy of Ultimate but XP more usefull for me right now.

 

dun like it. slow start up and shutdown.

 

i take one more shot:
. start->run-> type in "fsutil dirty query c:"
. do the same thing for d:
. any message?
. then "chkntfs /D"
. reboot

cheers ...

 

done that before the query out is clean

 

"chkntfs /D" did not help?

cheers ...
