Hi guys,

I have this problem where by when this particular HDD is plugged in, it would take me 2mins to boot into Windows. I managed to find out this when I unplugged it while troubleshooting, thereafter it would only take me roughly 15secs to boot into Windows.

BIOS has been set such that it will only cycle thru the SSD as a boot drive.

I have tried running Seatools and various HDD checks on that hard disk but it doesn't show up any signs of error.

Has anyone faced a similar issue who is able to provide feedback on the next course of action?

-Update-
Problem solved, found the root cause, it was because said drive was used as a restore point, disabling restore point was not sufficient, need to delete the data which was already saved. Now booting as per normal.

1. Right click My Computer
2. Properties
3. System Protection
4. Click on affected Drive
5. Configure
6. Delete
