[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1245600, member: 46727"] @Beef: How did you remove rEFIt? The reason I ask is if you didn't remove the "blessing" it may still be hunting around for the Windows boot sector and thus the delay. The easiest and safest way to stop rEFIt is stop the "blessing" by renaming the EFI folder. That folder is here: MacIntosh HD/efi Just rename it to: MacIntosh HD/efi_save and that should do it. There could be another reason you're seeing the black screen for 2 to 3 minutes. It's possible Windows is hunting for your video driver. Also make sure you do not have your Anti-Virus software doing a scan on startup. That will definitely delay the boot time. Let us know. [/QUOTE]
