I got 11 seconds here from when the xp logo comes up and the blue thing is moving accross to the fully useable state

do you guys apply every tweak again when you format? or do you have like a huge .reg file what does everything?

[Rob2687]

It takes atleast a minute from when I press the power button to fully booted XP on my P4...

How do you guys get it so fast? :o

[oddcrap]

That's what backups are for :) 12 secs

[superjoppe]

press the power-button -> see my desktop = ~65sec

but using the small program that someone posted in this thread, it says 30-33sec

i dont understand?

are we talking reboots or cold boots? mine def. reboots faster... and are we talking just to the point where windows/desktop boots or are we talking to the point where EVERYTHING is loaded... huge differences here.

Hmm... I haven't timed it in a while, but I'd say like 35-45 sec.
