That is quite horrible indeed :-( Have you tried different disk controller "models" in the virtual hardware? Or maybe Hyper-V is simulating BIOS services in some obscure and slow way, assuming that BIOS is "only needed during boot" by most operating systems? Regards, Eric PS: In one older FreeDOS install CD, autodetect and use of net and USB drivers was extremely slow. Forcefully skipping those helped, if no network was needed and if USB was handled by the BIOS anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
