    I have a Gateway XF Desktop that originaly had XP and ran great. I installed Vista and now it takes about 6 min for Vista to start. The harddrive starts, the bios goes and if it was a hard shut down the "restart in safe mode" comes up right away. Then nothing hapens for 6 min- then the hard drive kicks back in and it starts up. Shutdowns take about 20 seconds. Sometimes the sleap mode does not re-wake and I need to hard boot. I instaled SP-1 and still no help.

    The hard drives are factory set to raid 0. All the drivers are up to date.....

    :confused: Any sugestions on trouble shooting would be great. Anyone else having this issue?
