Monitoring Boot Time Performance Bootchart vs Bootvis

| | TrackBacks (0)

Need to check boot performance on my laptop, found that there was a app called bootvis.exe which Microsoft put put as a developers bootvis.msi package. The other alternative is bootchart on the linux side, but this is a Windows XP laptop.

Found one copy online and am getting errors on running it of :
"Number of Physical drives in the trace file is 0 Trace file has invalid system configuration information"

Went looking for other copies and found these hashes:
f654f8841f465cfaf25a9260cbc13a2f bootvis-1.3.37.0.msi
0d4567e929a20c4c601e8754a4cbf128 bootvis-2nd.msi

the second one appears bogus, the MSI installer is not signed by Microsoft and I did not perform a install with it, scans came up clean but who knows.

I think the error I am getting may be because of hard drive encryption on the laptop.

I still need a perf tool to measure boot performance...
