I recently had to reformat, but ever since I did My computer doesn't go
straight from the bios readouts to the Win XP loading screen, but instead
shows me the old white loading bars (similar to windows 2000 startup) at the
bottom of the screen where it waits for about 4-5mins before taking me to the
Win XP boot screen... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't Know if this helps to know, but the reason my hard drive crashed was
because of a bunch of illegal file names created by "Btter File Rename"
program. It allowed me to start file names with "."'s
