Super_Saxy Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hey, I built a Hackintosh a year ago, following the Lifehacker guide. Everything went fine, and the Hack has been running great since then. Two days ago, I installed Windows 7 on my second hard drive. In order to do that, I had to unplug my primary HDD inside the case, and tweak some of the bios settings. Once Windows 7 was successfully installed, I returned the bios settings exactly back to the way they were and plugged the primary HDD back in. Now, my boot time has increased from around 40 seconds to 3-4 minutes. My settings are exactly the way they were before installing Windows 7 on the second HDD. I've tried enabling quick boot in the BIOS and it didn't help at all. I also have all the same USB devices plugged in as before when I was getting 40 second boot times. Basically, the only thing that is different now is the Windows 7 HDD. Is there something I can do to reduce my boot time back to what it was? Or is adding the Windows 7 HDD the culprit? -Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad_Grabitel Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 What the kexts you use in Mac OS X? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Saxy Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 I followed this build exactly. http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2009/09/how-t...tart-to-finish/ http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2009/09/insta...cking-required/ To be honest, I'm not sure what kexts its using. I chose this build because I needed a Hackintosh for my family to use. All the kexts were pre packaged in a zip file by lifehacker for this build.
