I have recently brought this Lenovo Ideapad Y570 -
But the laptop does not boot up in 10 seconds as claimed by Lenovo, it takes 24-25 seconds to start. Can some1 help me on how can I achieve that under 10 seconds boot-up time.
My Laptop's config is -
2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM Processor ( 2.00GHz 1333MHz 6MB ), Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64

Blu-ray /DVD Combo, 6 Cell Lithium-Ion, Intel 1000 BGN Wireless
Bluetooth Version 2.1 + EDR, HDMI (Out)
Windows Index is 5.9 for my laptop,
Processor - 7.4
Memory(Ram) - 7.6
Graphics for Windows AERO - 5.9
Gaming graphics - 6.7
Primary hard disk - 6.9.

Go into your BIOS and assess your settings. (Press F2 during start up)
For example, I would modify the boot order and have your hard drive boot first and then the non-essentials in order of priority. Aso, there are features that 64BIT machines can take advantage of, make sure those are enabled in the BIOS as well.

My boot order in BIOS is
1 st the 64 GB solid state drive
then my 750 GB hard disk.
I could not figure out which options in BIOS allows u to take advantage of 64 bit OS in achieving fast boot-up ,
I suppose Lenovo had manipulated their system just to mislead people into believing that their laptops can boot up in under 10 seconds.
I never expected this from a company like Lenovo.

Your boot order looks fine to me. I did notice on the product page it said Lenovo has optimized the BIOS. Not sure what that means.
You said this is a new machine. Perhaps Windows is still applying updates? Or you've got too many start up items? I can't think of anything else...

They didn't lie to you, cool down, you just don't have your OS on your SSD. I am currently looking into what files I need to store on my SSD, but I know that that is your problem. Take everything but your OS off your SSD and you should see dramatic results.

Isn't that the exact thing that this "Rapid Storage" technology is supposed to do?
In my opinion, the laptop should boot up in 10 seconds with factory settings.
