The only way to fix this is to do a A&I.

You will need your install disks for this.
i dont understand. what is a cloned HD? sorry just switched to MAC. dunno much about mac technical stuff

i quit all with only finder running too, but i have safari, adium, quicksilver and gimmesometune as login items.

the time is now officially around 57 secs. I WANNA GET IT DOWN TO 30+!!!
