Here is a way to improve on the speed of your boot cycle. You will have to modify the msdos.sys file using Notepad. Follow the instructions below: 1. Select Find/Files or Folders from the Start Menu. 2. Enter msdos.sys in the Named box and C: in the Look In box; then click the Find Now button. 3. When the file appears, right-click it and select Properties from the pop-up menu. 4. Click to remove the check marks from the Read-Only and Hidden attributes and click OK. 5. Right-click msdos.sys again and select Open With from the pop-up menu. 6. Enter Notepad as the opening program and click OK. 7. Under [Options], enter BootDelay=0 or BootDelay=1 on its own line. (They represent respective delays of zero seconds and one second, both of which are faster than the default.) 8. Save your changes and close Notepad. 9. Return msdos.sys to its hidden, read-only state. (Right-click it, select Properties from the pop-up menu, and check the Read-Only and Hidden check boxes; then click OK.) 10. Quit and restart Windows.
