I've been noticing longer and longer pauses during Win2k bootup, especially on the boot screen where the blue boxes go across from left to right. I was curious enough that I enabled the "create bootlog text" option on a reboot so I could look at the file.
Printed, it takes almost 40 pages!!! It wouldn't be so long except that it seems to take three or four attempts to load many of the drivers. They'll be listed (for example) as "did not load driver Legacy Audio Drivers" several times, and then it either loaded or quit trying. On a line that says "Loaded driver Diskperf.sys" you only get the file name, not the Text Name used in the "did not load..." line.
Anyway, is there anyway to optimize the boot sequence so that things don't even try to load until they can be loaded?
The file it creates is c:\winnt\ntbtlog.txt if you want to look at your own.
