Post your start up time

Around 25 s.

so i have an external with 3 partitions, is there a way for OS X to not auto-mount one or two of them? i want to have the computer boot up faster, and i narrowed it down that they apparently slow it down.

and i dont mean to write a unmount script and put it in startup menu, because that would defeat the purpose.

thanks

i couldnt say my startup time. The only time my mac restarts is when software update tells it to.

Do you reboot that often to require this? Couldn't you just unplug the cable and when you want to use the drive, plug it back in. If you must prevent automount, try this

Around the 20-30 second range.

My G4 tower is up in 21 seconds. Not bad for a computer of it's age...

I have always thought mine was quite fast. This 2.33 C2D boots from cold to running in about 19 seconds. I think that is great considering all my PCs take like 4 minutes.

15 seconds at last startup with my c2d macbook.
