I know this is a technicality but I did not " install " the second copy I only copied files from one partition to another
Is there a law against copying files ?

Anyway I finally found out how to make windows boot faster
The answer is a faster pc
That's the only reason I was looking into how xp is booting but then I got sidetracked into installing xp without a cd
I added more memory but it did not make any difference as far as the booting speed is concerned
I also got a hard drive with higher (7200) rpm but also did not make any difference
Only when I installed in a system with 3.46 ghz it got faster 20 seconds compared to about a minute on a 1ghz system
What really puzzles me is that the xp that I have on the laptop with only 500mhz and 256mb ram is booting faster (35-40 seconds) than the one on the pc with 1Ghz and 1Gb ram (about 1 minute)
The only difference I see is the hard drive but since xp cannot run on a different system that was installed on I cannot verify if the hard drive is making it boot faster
