system preparation tool

I just reinstalled XP home from quick recovery disks on a compaq prserio. Now
everytime I boot up I get this system preparation tool window. It slows
things up for about 20 to 30 seconds. Is there any way I can disable this
window. In fact, I have no idea what it is used for. Reseal, auto boot,
factory
