after using Tweaking/Repair = permissions / delay connecting to internet

From 20 secs to 70 is quite a jump - are you using a SSD as I've never heard of Win 7 booting that quick with a HDD.

I usually get 5 consecutive Error Disk 11 when I plug a certain external HDD in to create a system image, but as far as I know, it doesn't corrupt the saved image.

Download the trial version of HDSentinel, remembering to uninstall it when done as it has a 30 day clock.

While it will give a written report on the status of any connected disks, see what the S.M.A.R.T. reports for it.

On another laptop, a chkdsk and other 3rd party programs gave an internal HDD a clean bill of health, but HDSentinel was sounding the death knell for it so I decided to replace it rather than take a chance.

Hit the Download link in the left pane and select Save.

You can extract the .zip in your Downloads folder and then run the application.

Having uninstalled it when done, you can continue to load it from there as and when you want to check.

KR:
yes - SSD (20 - 25 sec.) - only for system - all personal on HDD(F) - my documents etc all moved to F-Drive

please see previous post - Error 11 was my fault - I scheduled a chkdsk but forgot to click Y or something
no errors now ..  at least that's what I think it was - I also had an external hardrive (Seagate) connected for a while to check on the date of my latest system image - I'll do that again to see if that was the Error 11.

Otherwise: I have no idea what you mean with HDSentinel ...? lets not forget - the only problem I have is the extended startup time

just to confirm:
- webroot loads at startup - no more permission - = good
- chkdsk = all good
- sfc scannow = all good
- NO errors

however - 60 - 70 sec. startup!!!dark screen after initial loading, just after login - only see cursor

Boggin:
All of my ext. drives are Seagate.

HDSentinel is just an additional check on the status of your SSD.

Was it still a slow boot up with Webroot uninstalled ?

KR:
Good morning,
I haven't done the clean boot yet, but I stopped/disabled Webroot (there is an option for that)and restarted - same thing.

and again-no error 7000/7009 pointing to webroot anymore. No errors, no warnings at all.
 I have printed out instructions for a clean boot, with disabling all non Win services etc, to find out if one of them
could be the culprit... unless you have better instructions / tips what to do at a clean boot.
I'm not a tech guy and rely havily on advice.
I guess at this point - should I do another Reg backup? Maybe a new system image - just in case I screw simething up.
 Thanks

KR:
another thought:
I know there is something like waiting time at startup and shutdown...

could it be that by using tweaking/Repair it was set to a longer time out at startup?

... and that the webroot issue was just coincidental - since I just renewed?

because everything is fine now / np errors, except extra time at startup

Thanks
