The first time I did the test, I rebooted from windows logged in and running and counting the seconds it took to come back into windows 7 logged into the desktop, ready to go. After rebooting it took roughly 30 secs.
Next I powered down the pc.
Started from cold boot and timed twice. Both cases were roughly 1m 30s. Weird, this is the longest it's taken. Before last night, I recall the time taking roughly 25s to 30s. Recently, I installed all the latest windows updates / patches, I wonder if something has made my setup go sideways. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate.
Are there any tools against the drive to ensure it's working properly?
Truthfully, I rarely power down my htpc. I leave it running all the time, when idle it goes to sleep on some timer. Typically, I wake it from the sleep state and start using the htpc via XBMC. Usually only takes second or two to wake from sleep state.
