what are the possible causes for long boot time after
installing winxp sp1?

computer is p4/2.4/800 with 865G on motherboard, hdd on
paralel ata, no serial devices, no additional cards in
computer (only devices on motherboard)
after installing sp1 from windowsupdate (or installing xp
sp1 cd) computer takes about 5-10 minutes to start
(beginning with blank screen, then white line indicating
kernel load fills extremely slowly, disk activity is
happening all that time)

hopefully, removal of sp1 will bring system back to more
usable state.

no, no, no, thats not the issue.

initial boot is ok, and win98se is ok.
win xp pro w/o sp1 and with all drivers loaded is
functioning ok.
but after applying sp1 it takes almost forever to reach
from boot screen to desktop screen.
