Hi there, I've searched around and I can't find any real solution to this problem.

Lately after restarting my mac when I hold down the alt key to get the different partitions of the hard drive to show up (the os x one and the windows 7 one). I've had to wait with the key held down for about 1 minute 10 seconds before they both appear?! It used to take about 5 seconds!!

I haven't changed anything on the windows side or the mac side that might have caused this?

Any help??

P.S My startup disc is set to the mac os x one but that doesn't seem to help it, plus when I restart it changes the startup disc to no specific disc when I look in system preferences.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
Tann
