The delay is windows attempting to detect an unknown device during boot. It could be a bad disk drive it could be an unconfigured device. if you wanna rule out a bad disk unplug all your drives but the OS drive(or drives in a raid 0 set) The other thing is make sure you dont have your optical drive plugged into a third party 6gb sata III port (asmedia for example) often they are disk only ports and will cause issues. But I suspect the source for alot of issues some of you guys have stems from you guys not having your motherboard drivers installed. The solution is you guys downloading your motherboard usb drivers and if youre on intel; intel chipset and management interface drivers and ensuring theyre installed*. as well as the third party asmedia/etron/via usb3 drivers. Find your motherboard make and model (use cpuz) type it into google go to the support page for it select your operating system and install the relevant drivers. * how to ensure intel drivers install properly on intel system (note you dont have to do this unless it seems like things arent being installed, ie you hit installed and within 5 seconds it says its installed the chipset drivers, it takes longer and you see a list of items being installed in realtime along with screen flashing during the pcie bus updates it installs) just dl the folders unzip them, move the unzipped folders into the root menu of C drive and rename each folder to what they are ie USB3, Chip, MEI and substitute that file name in place of what shown in how to http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2310201 if you've built your computer and have no idea what a motherboard support site is, and didnt use the included drivers disc(and installing everything) then you dont them installed your System Devices in device manager should look something like this if youre on an intel system http://i.imgur.com/4GJWUbp.png http://i.imgur.com/W9sRzVv.png do you guys need a how to video?
