Hardware configuration time.
on: October 04, 2005, 03:16:23 pm
I just built a computer and it's set up and what not, I've set the BIOS to read from CD-Rom first. I put in the Windows XP in the Drive and it boots from the disc, as it should. Then it "inspects the computer hardware configuration...". now, how long should that take, generally speaking?

Less than a minute on every piece of hardware I've ever run Windows XP setup on.  That ranges from a Pentium III 400 to a AMD 2700+.
