Speed up your boot time by enabling a Boot Defrag. Enabling Boot Defrag places all boot files next to each other on the disk to allow for faster booting. This should be enabled by default, however it can be changed inadvertently by various software or other means. If you experience a slow boot, you should definitely check to make sure that your Boot Defrag is enabled.
