Inspiron N5010 Boots Very Slowly
Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron N5010 and about one year ago it starting booting slowly. I have googled the issue and tried many solutions.
I created a second partition and installed a vanilla Windows 7 on it and booted into it and it still boots slowly.
I've tried every form of optimization that various sites, including you, have told other people in forums. Drivers, defragmentation, chmod, and various other things I can't remember.
It takes about 3-5 minutes for a cold boot and about 9 minutes from hibernation. Sleep mode works normally.
I don't know what the issue could be. There's only two more things I have not done: backup and reformat the whole drive and update bios.
I have recorded me starting my laptop in safe-mode to show that the drivers load very slowly:

Hi Cacre516,
I would suggest that you run the diagnostics on the computer by following the steps mentioned in the video below and check if there is any issue with the hardware on your system.

Before you run the diagnostics, be sure to back up your files -- there's a very good chance the slowdown is caused by a bad hard drive that will need to be replaced.
