Slow Boot-up – Why does it take so long to boot-up my PC?
Slow boot up times are a productivity drain; never mind the frustration it causes to the end user. Having your programs and data files stored in a contiguous form (all lined up side by side) seems to be a key factor in keeping PCs stable and performing at peak efficiency.

Slow Boot-up
The moment a file is broken into pieces and scattered across the disk drive (file fragmentation), it opens the door to a whole host of stability and reliability issues.

The most common problems caused by file fragmentation are slow boot times, inability to boot up at all, slow or aborted backups, file corruption and data loss, crashes and system hangs, memory problems and hard drive failures.

Fragmentation is a major factor in slow boot times. While a system is booting up there is a rush of data being transferred from the hard disk into the system memory to get the operating system ready for the users. This initial burst of data during boot up is whereunruly disk fragmentation first rears its ugly head.

Are new PCs affected by slow boot-up too?


Fragmentation even affects new computers. Some people still think that a new just-out-of-the-box computer is performing at its peak ability. Nothing could be further from the truth. A freshly-installed operating system starts off with its files so badly fragmented that a simple defragmentation can decrease the boot time from 153.9 seconds to 111.8 seconds. That’s a 27.4% reduction in elapsed time.

To make matters worse, think about the first thing you do when you get your new PC home? That’s right, you install your favorite applications. If you don’t defragment FIRST, your favorite applications ALSO end up on your system in a fragmented state.

Without installing and running Diskeeper® performance software on your PC, you will never know how responsive your PC could have been.

Diskeeper not only handles all of the built-up fragmentation that is currently keeping your PC from booting up and running as fast as it should be, it also proactively prevents future file fragmentation before it happens, so your PC stays fast every minute of every day.

Here’s What Customers Have to Say

“What I have noticed since using the latest version of Diskeeper with InvisiTasking at work, is my desktop users have told me that the boot times are now a ¼ of what they used to be.”

- Angela McCord, Network Administrator,
LexJet


“We are really happy with the results from Diskeeper and use it on all the workstations and servers.

”The problem we experienced prior to installing Diskeeper was the slow, steady decline in performance that resulted from fragmented systems. Slower boot-up/start-up, files opening slower and even slower saving files. In short, our computers ran slowly for no other reason than defragmentation of the disk.”

- Tom Jobling,
Reloconnect


“I am finding that programs are opening a lot quicker and boot time is far better than before when I did not have Diskeeper installed.”

- Mr Fred Leach


“I have used the Diskeeper for many years and have observed improvements on any system that I have installed it on. When a computer was un-responsive, running a defrag, whether boot-time or manual it fixed all of the users issues and made them feel like we had given them a new system.”

- Gary McDonald,
San Joaquin County Public Health Services
