Prawker Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Normally my startup time hovers around 15-18 seconds, but lately its been taking about a minute to startup, and when it finally does start up, my hard drive is constantly being accessed for 2 minutes straight. i tried formating and reinstalling but to my surprise that didn't work, OS X functions just fine, i just fine this slow down unnecessary, and i want to avoid it if possible, can anyone help? Specs are in the sig. thanks in advanced!

Prawker Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Well my OS X hard drive had 3 partitions on it, one for OS X, one for transfers between OS X and Windows, and a windows only partition for backup and such, i backed up the last two partitions (OS X had nothing important on it yet) to the windows hard drive, and deleted every partition on the OS X hard drive, formated it, then repartitioned it, that seems to have done the trick, i got all my programs and data installed again and OS X is still running just as fast Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41278-slow-startup/#findComment-295874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
