4. In the BIOS (or "Setup") stop floppy
seek, stop memory check (Fast Boot), and put the disk on best performance
setting instead of silent if you have it.


For a faster boot up enter your Bios, by clicking the Delete, F2, or F12 key
or whatever flashes on the screen when you turn on the computer. Next
choose boot order, and remove all entries except the first one which you should
set to your hard drive. This will stop the most of the time useless seeking of a
floppy disk at boot time.
If you need to reinstall Windows or some other operation, you can always go
back and change this entry to floppy or CD. Also there should be a setting
in your BIOS to make the boot, quick. All this means is that your PC will
not do the most of the time useless checking of your memory at boot time.
