Long boot time

Does anyone know why a newly upgraded XP Pro computer would take 5 - 8
minutes to boot up? The boot process gets as far as the blue screen with the
text "Starting Windows 5.1" etc. and remains there for 5 minutes or more,
then
continues and boots normally and works well.

The problem did not occur with the computer's previous OS -Windows 2000 Pro.
The XP installation is a clean install on a fresh partition.

Thanks,

Steve
