CD Takes 15 Minutes to Boot - saint.duo

You have no idea what the system has to do to boot from read only media, mount drives, and have a working diagnostic system do you?

I've seen tech tool take from 2-15 minutes to boot, and I've seen diskwarrior take up to 12 minutes. I've seen custom made boot CDs take over an hour.

Actually, I do have an idea of typical CD boot times and requirements. That's why Techtool's excessive boot time is ridiculous. I've never had DiskWarrior or the OS X install CD's take more than 5 minutes. Thanks for being so pleasant with your feedback.

You might try making a copy of the CD using a reputable CD manufacturer (such as Maxell, for example) and working from that CD. I had the same problem with DiskWarrior and fixed it with an exact copy created with Toast. It brought the boot times into a more 'reasonable' time frame, although still not fast.

CD Takes 15 Minutes to Boot - shockwave

I've tried booting from CD on my PB 12" 1.3GHz. It has been taking over 30 mins - and I've decided to give up.

Maybe I should leave it overnight to bootup?
