Long reboot after XP SP 1 Install

[Groom]

I recently reformatted my computer, reinstalled all the drivers and a
few apps. Everything ran smoothely, rebooted faster than ever. I
then went to install XP SP 1 and now it takes like 20 min to reboot.
I have tried 3-4 reboots all with the same results.

I have all the same hardware I have had for atleast a year and have
reinstalled windows atleast 2x previous to this install w/ all the
same hardware.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Have you tried a logged boot?
