For no apparent reason, my HP Pavillion a345w takes about 25 minutes to
boot. It takes almost 20 minutes for it to move past the HP logo
screen. It then checks the drives, and starts to load my XP Pro. From
there XP Pro takes a little over 7 minutes to boot.
I have defragged the drive, and ran chkdsk /r. The issue to me seems
like it is underneath the Operating System, maybe in the bios. HP does
not have an updated bios beyond the 3.17 that I already have.
Any suggestions short of a rebuild would be appreciated.
