Vista takes 10 mins to boot up!
Hi, wondering if anyone can help.

Vista Ultimate takes around 10 mins to boot up everytime I start the
computer. When booting into Safe Mode, it hangs on crcdisk.sys and still
takes ages to finally start Windows.

The computer has a DVD drive and CD-RW, however the CD-RW drive does not
appear in My Computer or Device Manager. In the BIOS screen the drive can be
opened, but in Windows the drive will not open when you press the button!

As it's a Dell PC, I'm not sure what model the drive is and what drivers I
need.

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance.

Specs:
Dell Dimension 8300
Intel Pentium 4 3.00 GHz
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon 9800 128MB
Liteon LTD-163 16x DVD drive
Unknown CD-RW drive

Re: Vista takes 10 mins to boot up!
Open the case..........disconnect the CD-RW drive.
Reboot and see if Vista loads Faster.
If it does you have a defective CD-RW drive.
