Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Re: Long Boot up Time

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Steven,

OK! Thanks. Attached please find a copy of my CONFIG.SYS file. I am
basing the my assumption on the loading of HPFS.IFS on the fact that
everything else scrolls pretty fast, except that (with ALT-F2). There
are 3 or 4 drivers that load before HPFS.IFS. The longest one takes
about 10 seconds. Then comes HPFS.IFS. My computer just sits there for
the next 8 minutes.

I just took a look at my CONFIG.SYS and I had a thought. I notice that I
have autochecking for my HD partition. I know that it isn't actually
going through CHKDSK (unless it needs to). Nevertheless, when CHKDSK has
to be run, it takes a long time. Could the autocheck be the timing
culprit?
