Then restart.
Depending on when the script pops up with the results it also have to account for you typing in your password. Then possibly loading when you have set to load at boot.
So really it isnt a script to see how long you reboot. It is a script to see how long it takes to get from a workign desktop to a working desktop. Cause the only part that is truly the boot, is going from the BIOS to the login screen. Anything before or after that, is not part of the boot. It is part of Windows and can be highly affected by so many variables that are out of our control. |
Yeah, a lot of variables, but this could be useful when working with a client, or a friend, trying to get them to upgrade an older system. If I was to put this on my old rid, I'd see in excess of 250-300 seconds...
(Socket A 2400+, 1GB RAM, 5400RPM IDE Drive, and loading XP, use to be quick, but I had my assumptions the drive was failing.) Like 6 days after I got my new system, the drive did infact die.
