Greetings. I have an HDD Seagate ST340014A 40GB with one primary partition, which I formatted as exFAT and copied Windows files on it. With BootIce I also changed the Volume Boot Record. After disk boots up, all applications work as they should. However, the boot process takes approximately 4 minutes: 1 minute until four blue squares appear and 3 minutes rest. What could be reason for this and is it possible to reduce this time to normal? I've tried to reset pagefile.sys but it didn't help.
