Very long boot-times with DVD-drive?

Hi guys,

got a lil problem here. My machine takes very long to boot. It sits @ that windows-knight-rider screen and the blue line is crossing about 10-12 times before anything happens. Yesterday i had to disconnect my DVD to connect my reserve hdd and see... it boots after
3 or 4 times of that line passing. Is that coz i got a bad driver or bad firmware there....Don´t know if driver makes difference coz i think windows got 1 generic and it don´t affect my secondary DVD drive... any suggestions?

What is the Make and Model # of your laptop?
By Boot Logo, do you mean the laptop manufacturers Logo Splash Screen?
A "required Device isn't connected" means that your HDD/SSD is not connected or has failed.
As stated, boot into Setup (Bios) go to System Information. It should list all of your drives in the computer. If your HDD/SSD is not listed. Restart the computer and press F12 (on most computers) ESC on others, and run the Diagnostics. If that fails, try to reseat it into the laptop.
