View Full Version : Ghosted 160 gig SATA, Now 70 Second Longer Boot-up

I replaced my 2- 80 gig SATA drives with a single 160 gig SATA drive. Ghosted the 160 from the 80 with a few little problems like a lost key and had to reload XP Office to get them to work properly.
Question is, now on boot-up, it will sit at "Verifying DIM (?) Data Pool" for about 60-80 seconds before it finishes the boot. No other problem that I can see. If I boot from the old 80 gig it now does the same thing as well.
Any ideas as to how to fix or even why this happened? Its not a big deal but I would like to know why this happened.

Looks like could be bad boot record. First link looks most promising.
