I meant I disabled all the ones you said to, I hid the Microsoft ones before i hit "disable all", like you said.

No, I don't think I do.  This laptop came preloaded with it and I don't remember ever getting a disc or anything.

Does the Windows boots?

Don't worry we found a way to deal with this.

Yes, I mean I'm using the laptop right now, so Windows DOES eventually boot.  Everything seems to be working fine (and my internet is faster again - thanks for the tip about the drivers).... its just that boot time taking forever.  I'm so scared one of these times it's just not going finish booting at all.

First make sure to select Normal Startup from System Configuration.

Have you let SeaTools to finish its Long Generic Test?

Sorry, no, because I was confused as to what it said.   You said "This should be the drive that has the operating system installed on it, this is usually C: drive." but when go into it, I see no options for any recognizable drives (like c: d:, etc)  it just shows this:

Is that WES2MYR0 thing my hard drive?

Um, I think I have?  I'm not sure what all drivers there are to install, I updated the network one like you told me.  I'll go check the graphics one in a sec.

I already have fast boot disabled.

Yes that is the hard drive you want to scan for errors.

Ok.  I'll let it scan but it looks like it will take hours and hours. ;_;

I just don't understand, almost everything I'm reading everywhere, hard drive errors means the laptop wont boot at all, but this will, just not for a long time.  This all started right around when Windows updated an adobe security update a few days ago.  But I had uninstalled it after I suspected it and it didnt seem to change anything, and it's reinstalled itself now

We can try another trick but you need to make sure to set BIOS boot order to boot from bootable Knoppix Live CD if the computer boots without problem then we'll know its either hard drive or Windows causing the slow boot problem. And without testing both for errors we cannot know which one is the causing the slow boot time.


Please open the Command Prompt by clicking Start Menu --> All Programs --> Accessories, right-click on Command Prompt, and open it as an administrator. In Windows Vista and later versions of Window operating systems type cmd.exe into Start Screen or Start Menu, right-click on Cmd.exe, and open it as an administrator.

Execute following commands one at a time:


Code:

Sfc  /scannow

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth

chkdsk C: /r

Do I do all that after the seatools finishes scanning?   I don’t understand what you’re saying about BIOS boot order so maybe that’s not a good idea.  I have no idea what that is or how to set it.

Stop the seatools and execute the commands please.

Please visit below site to learn how to set BIOS boot order.

I really don’t understand the BIOS thing, I’m so sorry. I’m scared I’m going to screw things up even more.  I had to do a hard restart because my laptop froze and it’s still taking forever.

Is there anything else we can try that doesn’t involve the BIOS boot thing?

Because you can access BIOS setup software we have one option left that's to disconnect the CMOS battery on the motherboard for 15 minutes to reset BIOS settings.

Have you executed those three commands?

I didn’t yet because I thought you meant to do that after the BIOS thing.  I’ll do it now
