I'm unable to figure out why one of my HDDs takes only two sweeps of the
bullets across the WindowsXP screen during boot up, and another takes up to
15 sweeps. I'm referring to the blue buttons that sweep horizontally right
after POST. I ran fixmbr and fixboot and the number of sweeps was
unchanged. I plan on running boot log to look for the culprit, but I
thought I had it figured because the two-sweep HDD was on SATA port 2 and
the 15 sweeper was on SATA port 5. I swapped which port the drives were on,
and the 15-sweeper now takes only 2 sweeps. Next I cloned the 2-sweeper and
the clone took 15 sweeps to boot on SATA port 2. I'd like a reference to
what Windows XP is doing when it first starts to load after the POST. Or
is that exactly what bootlog will tell me? TIA
