Do you mean it is DISABLED in the BIOS? because it can be enabled in BIOS and not installed.
THANKS!!! IT was my mistake, I apologize. I replaced the MB BIOS battery some days ago, BIOS was reset.
I came to the same conclusion after I went back to 5.0, and there was the same delay…
If I read this right, you’re still suffering from long start times, and you have two machines with the same problem, and on one machine (Thinkpad) you can’t disable the floppy drive in the BIOS. So I conclude, that you checked the floppy drive BIOS setting on the other machine.
May I ask, to which system language your machines are set?
I ask, because a Japanese RT user found out, that there’s a bug in one of the compiler supplied libraries we use for the Windows builds.
