My system freezes for about one minute on boot up. I
check the Event viewer, I find error and warning
messages - Application Warning Norton AntiVirus or Error
source CI, Category CI Service. Also from System, Error -
Atapi, or disk etc.
How can solve these problems?
 
I had a similar problem. At bootup the system would hang
for a minute or two. It turned out to be the device
driver for my scanner (any driver could do this). If I
would unplug the USB cable, all would boot fine and
fast. Then plug it in and all is well. If plugged in at
boot, 1-2 minute pause. Though it maynot be your
scanner, any device driver could be the culpret.
Hope the idea helps.

This can be a symptom of hard drive issues.
Do you have the atapi errors written at any other time,
or does this jerky hanging of the entire user interface
happen at any time except bootup? Do you have any
devices other than hard disks and cd/dvd on the IDE ?
