No, everything that I've done is documented right in this thread. I have performed all kinds of HD cleaning, defragmentation and bad sectors checking, etc. etc. Everything and anything possible to "cure" supposedly bad HD. After that exhausting "fixing" I had still problems with booting, it took again a couple of hours. After a while it was something like 10 minutes but lately, right before Christmas it started booting in 42 seconds. I need to say that I did not reinstall OS or resources as suggested here. All I've done was just routine HD testing and maintenance that we do with our PC when it gets too slow. I did not even take a HD out of machine, I just connected the pro to my desktop. It is really very perplexing what is happening here. I summarize it again: After exhausting HD maintenance there was no improvement. After several weeks passed, booting took some 10 minutes and after several weeks or a couple of month since the problem has started, booting takes some 42 seconds. Actually, I had this booting time before the problem has started. One more thing. I have never mentioned it before because I thought it was irrelevant. I traveled some 800 miles with kb and only after that problems have started. I took extreme care of kb though, I have SKB case which is very durable and transported kb in a car. Even if the problem was caused by transportation why it would get fixed after a while by itself or with maintenance. I have to stop here because I am starting getting headache from all these ambiguities.
