Vista Startup problems

Hello Shane, I had made notes on the various sequences I have used in starting up Vista. These include stopwatched stages. I also have repair log results, cbs.log results, chkdsk.log results and performance event logs of what happens in starting and closing down Vista. Rather than display them here and therefore taking up screen space would you rather I zipped them under one folder for you to look at and then you could then decide what to show if need be? Thanks.

Shane:
You can zip them up and attach them, there is a 4 mb size limit per file, so if they are big you might want to zip them up into multiple files.

What exactly is going on that you want me to check on?

Hello Shane, you previously said it could be a dying hdd and I thought if I sent you the data from the software side you may be able to pin down the cause. The thing is that once the computer startup is successful further restarts and power down and power up again actions do so without a hitch unless the computer is turned off and an amount of time has passed. Then the problem starts over again. Leaving the computer on for 48 hours or so has no detrimental affect during the run. Last night I downloaded your test file which you developed regarding another user's cbs.log issues. I ran it and all packages came up with no corruptions. I'll start to compile the data I have and send it zipped. Thanks.

Shane:
Have you used a tool to look at the smart status of the hard drive and see what it reports?

You mean a profile tool such as Speccy?
