laptop slow to start
Takes a full 15 mins for my 4 year old Samsung laptop to stabilise with the XP desktop. It is little used and does not contain much in the way of programmes.
I've done defrag, XP updates, virus scan and nothing untoward. Been through the start-up list and knocked off those I don't recognise. Once its up and stable, it is a bit quicker to open an application etc.
Is there any software to check my hard drive is working at the correct speed, or to identify for any other bottlenecks?
