Very confusing Hard drive

jamesbanana · July 23, 2015

I have one ssd and one hard drive, with the ssd my boot up time is very fast however when i add an hard drive with the ssd the boot up time is really slow to the point that it looks like its stalling on the windows 7 logo. Anyone help, do i need to go to the bios

Msi z97 sli krait mobo

Wd blue 1tb

Sandisk ultra II 120g ssd

make sure the boot order in bios is the ssd then the hard drive

Make sure the SSD is the first thing in the boot order.

This is a bug with Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service. Someone posted a similar issue a couple weeks ago, same issue actually. Try disabling Hibernation (Administrator CMD Prompt, powercfg -h off)

Hey jamesbanana,

What @DEDRICK explained is true and I would try that.

However, this might be an indication that there is a problem with the HDD so I would run a diagnostic utility on it just to be on the safe side that your data is safe and there's no risk for it. For the WD Blue I would recommend using WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic utility: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=MgCukN
