[QUOTE="Beef, post: 1244208, member: 203053"] Hello! I've been surfing the internet for hours, but i didn't find the solution to my problem. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2008 (2,53GHz; 4GB RAM) and I have installed Windows 7 Enterprise x64 via BootCamp. So: i startup my mac and press the option key (alt) to go to the startup-menu. When i choose Windows to boot, the screen goes black for about 2-3 minutes, then the windows "boot screen" appears and everything is normal. My question is, why does it take so long to boot up windows? Could this problem be caused by rEFIt? Before I installed it, everything worked fine - I've chosen windows and it started immediately. Then i installed rEFIt and then there was the black screen - so I removed rEFIt (like the readme says). But the problem is still the same. Please help me! :\ [/QUOTE]
