hello all,
I created a winbuilder usb bootable.
on most computers it boot fine.

But on a couple of HP workstations  DC5000 & DC5100 it takes 20-25 minutes.
Both usb ports in front are usb 2.0.
I have not checked windows 7 "spining light balls" option.
Any thoughts why it takes so long to boot compared to 1 minute.
thank you

20-25 minutes sounds to me like it's loading at usb 1 speed. Not all usb 2 ports operate at usb 2 speed at boot.

thank you for this response.
My old bartpe boots slow too but not 20 minutes.

I wonder if useing a different BootManager.
Does anyone have a good link that describes them all?
I'm concerned if bootmanager is grubdos that I'll have to update drivers another way.
Or does the bootmanager not really effect boot speeds?

ty!

I edit your post unintentionally  :embarrassed:
I do not have change your text ;)

Yes, this seems to react as usb 1, Perhaps something to adjust in the BIOS.
 
Try maybe with Plop Boot Manager, to see if it's the same.

:cheers:

Just want to say thank you.
I'm honored for you to take the time to respond.
Lets see if I can figure out the plop it will help me I think on some computers with usb 2.0 controller
but booting on 1.1.
I really appreciate you & the forum!

Thank you, I take it with pleasure  :cool:
My pleasure is to have fun by building a nice project, to help others when I can and learn lots of good things.
There are plenty of good guys here and often much more skilled than me.

Hoping that Plop can help you  :wink:

The time depends on the image size. My guess your BartPE has a smaller image size, hence a faster boot.
