Re: XP extremely slow boot up
After being able to get back to the laptop and try it, I tried to boot it in
regular mode and then in safe mode and checked the event log. Here are some
items from the start up. These bring up a question. Would a bad block make it
do this. The "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" error is because a Dlink wireless device
is not working in safe mode.
