Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has had the "Executing startup delay" show up when starting up their computer. I just recently bought a refurbished desktop and I was hoping that I could turn off this delay.

A long time ago, some disk-drives took some time to "spin-up" and to report "ready to use" to the motherboard.
So, the motherboard can be configured to "delay" -- wait longer for the "ready" response from the disk-drive.
Look in BIOS SETUP, to reduce the delay, or to disable the "wait" ?
