Slow Boot up time

Thread needs solution

I used Acronis True Image HD 2014 to clone my laptop hard drive to a new Crucial MX 100 SSD and all was well. After using it awhile I decided to take the SSD and install it into a different laptop. In an attempt to restore the original laptop I reinstalled the original hard drive (that was used for other purposes in the meanwhile) and cloned the SSD to the hard drive. Now the computer works like it originally did but the boot up time is twice as long as it was before I put in the SSD. (Boot up time originally on the hard drive was about 1-1/2 minutes, went to about 1/2 minute with the SSD and now is 3 minutes 15 seconds with the same hard drive)

What happened and can I do anything to get the computer back to the way it was?

Hi Dennis,
Without knowing the structure of the original disk, I'd only be guessing about something that's changed. One thing you may want to check are your BIOS settings. Ensure the disk is set as your first boot device, or second behind a CDROM is equipped. Disable PXE boot and boot from USB if applicable. These may help speed up boot times.

I just installed Acronis 2015 onto my notebook. It's an i7 with an SSD. The next time I booted my notebook, boot times extended to over 3 minutes from about 40 seconds. It hangs before the user icons appear and is slow after login is chosen. The only thing different is the Acronis installation. I haven't even done anything with Acronis yet. This is a recent (yesterday) clean installation of Windows with our routine software installed with all Windows updates done before the Acronis installation. I can't be the only one having this problem.
