Long boot up with black screen and task bar at the bottom

[Guest]

XP takes several minutes to boot after initial bios info goes to blank screen
with a task bar on bottom. Takes total of 3-4 minutes to boot or restart.

Blank screen or black screen? Which?

Will it boot in Safe Mode?

Do you have a Windows XP CD? If not what
is your computer make and model?
