Possible boot the pc with in 15 secs with winlogon

[Guest]

I am creating image with winlogon, as well as explorer shell.I am using acpi
multiprocessor.The default image size is 70 mb.
It takes booting approx 30 secs.How is it possible to reduce the booting
time. our purpose we want to run the visual studio application in that image.
is it possible if i am using minlogon, i will run windows application.

sudhakar,

70Mb for Winlogon/Explorer Shell based image is not bad.

There is some obvious things you can do to reduce the boot time of the
image:
- remove unneccesary components from the image configuration (dependency
exploration, common sense and image/app testing are your friends here)
- change network settings of the runtime to use static IP or make sure
your DHCP server is best accessible on the network
- remove, disable or change to manual start for all the windows services
of your running image (use sc.exe tool or Services.msc UI)
- use boot time analizing tools like MS BootVis (search Google to find a
download for the tool)
- improve the hardware you use (faster CU, more RAM, etc)
- if possible, use features like HORM (use hibernation to start the
image very fast)

Btw, Visual Studio is just an programming IDE with a set of compilers
provided. The compiler you use has almost nothing to do with the components
you include in your XPe image. But the dependencies of the application you
are trying to build (compile and link) do.

I have created runtime image with windowslogon, explorershell.it takes to
show windows screen after 40 secs.Then I check with MSBootvis, in that boot
time showing 11.24 secs. How will you optimise the time, to make it below 20
secs. i remove all the services.

dis k - 2.12 secs
driver - 1.60 secs
registry - 0.89 secs
video - 1.08 secs
logon+service - 3.76 secs
shell - 1.23 secs
total boot time - 11.24 secs

Actual time taken for showing windows screen after restart is 40 secs.
bios+ntloader+boottime = 40 secs.
How will you optimise the system startup time.

sudhakar,

I am not sure I have followed your post.

Are you saying that when you power on your device it starts to show the shell screen after 40 secs?
And you also saying that the OS boot time from that is only 11 seconds, right?

Then, I assume, you've got a long BIOS POST time. Upgrade the BIOS or change the hardware so that the POST would take as less time
as possible (with some embedded BIOS implementation the POST time could be less than 1-2 seconds).
