My wife has a 1.2 T/bird/256DDR - I'm on a 1.7XP Athlon/256PC133 - with a Plextor CD-RW as an extra IDE/Sec.master.
Her Win98 boots in 20 secs -with msconfig/startup set to boot virtually nothing other than what is needed.
My system gets to 'checking for boot record on IDE.O...ok, starting win98' and then sits for 30 secs before getting to the desktop.
We have the same standard board and bios revision, different memory, and I've the extra cd rom.
I've checked all the properties I can think of, but she beats me hands down!! Any ideas?
p.s. it's the same win98 cd!!
