Operating system on 2nd partition

Hi

I have Vista Home Premium 32.

Disk Manager shows my C: drive, which holds the Operating System, drive as the second partition on the hard drive, will this slow things down at all, should I reinstall on the first partition?

Thanks

Daniel

Well lets not guess. How long does it take you to boot?
The Event Viewer contains, although often well-hidden, some useful info.

Here's how to determine your Boot & Shutdown times:

Type Event Viewer in Search (when it pops up, right click run as administrator)

First wait for the Event Viewer to be populated-watch the Summary of Administrative Events section.

Now, using the left-hand pane tunnel down as follows:
Applications and services logs | Microsoft | Windows | Diagnostics-Performance | Operational

Right-click on Operational.

In the top-section of the middle pane, various events are listed.

Click on EventID to sort the events from smallest to largest.

EventID 100 is for Boot Performance.
EventID 200 is for Shutdown Performance

You may find some of the other events to also be of interest.

Let us know how long it takes. We will know if there is any significant slow down.

Hi

Thanks again for your help, in the end I used the partition data you sent me on the other thread and have enlarged the partition to include the whole drive so the original issue does not exist.

As long as it works to your satisfaction. Glad that I could help (several times)
