Start > Run > eventvwr [click OK]

Select the System log.

Look for event 6009 (there is a Find function in the View menu). This
event, which is described as "Microsoft (R) Windows (R) 5.01. 2600
Service Pack 3 Uniprocessor Free" is the system starting up. The
following event, 6005, is the EventLog service starting up, which is the
beginning of the boot-up sequence.

Events 6005, 6006, 6008, 6009

Run > CMD, and then "systeminfo." This will tell you how long the

That's not natively available on XP Home, although the OP didn't state what
version he was running.
