I have one very interesting issue with my computer. My hard drive just won’t start normally after the last clean install of Windows. I must wait around one minute for all those white lines to fill the bottom loading bar, and there is no other way. Looks like an old Windows 2000 boot screen, but it is way too slower than that. When the system loads, it just works normally. What have I did? Thanks for any help.

Hello. It seems like you have destroyed your mbr or Master Boot Record. Mbr is the place where all partition structure and information is stored. How many of them you have, etc, everything. Mbr residents on very first sector of the hard drive, and every drive has one of tis own. So, if you know how to use Windows Recovery Console than you need to type „fixmbr“ at the command prompt. Afterwards, things should go smoothly. If you don’t know what I am talking about (R.Console), then Partition Magic or Disk Doctor will help you better.
