wow.... you must have a very very very slow computer that would take ages just for it to boot... hahha im fine with my 12+4 gigs HDD, since i dont even fill it up... right now, only about 5 gigs are filled.... i dont think it would go any higher because i burn things right away...so yea.. for me it just takes about 30 seconds for my comp to boot.... hahah such speed!
