PENT 4 3.2 200G H/D
Reinstalled xp + service pack 2
updated all drivers
everything works ok except

On switch on or reboot before windows comes up there is a black screen with
a set of white bars along bottom of screen these bars fill up white and the
computer loads up ok .
Thus the reboot time takes ages , during this "white bar" stage the hard
drive seems to be reformatting or checking itself.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO STOP THIS?
