Take the 2-minute tour ×  I've created a bootcamp partition and
successfully installed Windows 7 there. The problem is that
Windows loads too slow - there is a white pointer on black
screen blinking for 2 or 3 minutes before system starts loading,
so total loading time exeeds to 4 minutes. How can I reduce
Windows loading time? I'm using MBP 2010 MC371, so there should
be no perfomance problems.  share|improve this question  1
Answer 1  up vote 1 down vote accepted  You could try the
solution on http://viperfx07.blogspot.com but I haven't had the
problem myself so I can't say whether it will solve your issue
Just to note that this may be due to your copy of Windows not
being genuine  share|improve this answer I don't think the
Windows Genuine Advantage kicks in until Windows is loaded, and
this sounds like it's in the pre-boot environment. –  user479

looking for firmware which doesn't exist and it pauses because
it can't find it. –  conorgriffin
