SSD optimization doesn't improve anything for me either. I have better luck with BIOS........

In bios you can enable stuff so the PC turns of from cold.
Supposedly my MCE remote suppose to work but it does not.

Now this new qwerty keyboard does work! any button even the mouse pad works and turns on the computer. Smile

To make it work you have to enable it in bios.... and thats it!

Now when I am lazy I don't have to get up.....

How are you liking that keyboard btw? Been trying to find it in Canada, unsuccessfully!

Man what is going on.... I am back to almost 50sec boot time....
It was also working fine with -d 2 in the startup folder.... so xbmc will start when i turn on the PC....

Now its 50sec and when xbmc pops up right away after boot it freezes.... it was working fine a few minutes ago.

Now i'm lost....

I love the little keyboard btw!

Heh! Mr. Lazy Gadget Beer Big Grin
Wouldn't use it myself, but it makes me laugh, in a good way, that you make this setup so 101% Smile
Hmm...maybe i should consider, I never use keyboard with XBMC, but my girlfriend and friends, usually complains about my old programmable NAD HTR2. It a heavy mo-fo, but stable, eats 4 AAA batteries every 14 days Big Grin (it's the on in the middle)

As I mentioned, you can try AsRock Instand boot "A75M-ITX". You can watch these guys- ASRock Instant Boot

That keyboard works pretty good. I had no idea it was gonna be so small when I ordered it, tho! I still haven't tried getting my remote to turn this thing on/off. I got kind of burned out last weekend getting everything else to work. I've just been leaving the HTPC on 24/7 lol.

Keep us posted on your results!

I did but I can't use it because off the ssd stuff we did to it, I think now Im going to go back before the ssd optimiztion and see what happens.... if not I think im going to try my 2.5 laptop drive... that one I know it works great.

So I had an image of windows before I did any of Eskros SSD optamization's .... so I re-installed xbmc... tried it out ot worked!!!!!

It booted in 15 ssec again Smile

After the third boot it wen't back to 50 sec and then when XBMC popped up it froze..... and I don't even hear windows sound when you boot....

I retraced my steps back because I know I unchecked two thing on msconfig like the ccc and something else... because that fixes xbmc from loosing focus.

But nothing worked......

I am tired and mad at this now Sad

I think i'm going to install my 2.5 hard drive.... i know it boots in 50 seconds also lol.... but hope it works.
