windows xp - Very long boot up process?


Very strange boot up process that took literally 5~6 minutes. Other than the boot up, the PC works perfectly fine.


Things I have tried:



  • CHKDSK (No errors)

  • Reset BIOS (HDD 1st)

  • Defrag

NOTE: The last part of the video is what I am asking about. Not the BIOS loading. Video has been sped up for quick viewing purposes.



Answer



Ok this is very strange. I played around MSCONFIG's settings and then restarted the PC and it magically fixed itself. I rebooted 4 more times to verify and its back to normal. Very very strange. I am not sure what I actually did. But thanks to everyone for answering. I guess u learn something new everyday after all...
