start up and restart

[EDDIE138301]

Everything is fine on my xp pro now except for the start-up and restart.
It will first come on and go to the screen with the intell information
on it. Then it will hang up for like 5-6 minutes. Then go to the
windows screen and then boot up. This is driving me crazy. What can I
do stop this?

Anything attached to your computer such as an external USB HD drive, USB flash
drive, or a similar device? If so, try turning off the external HD and
unplugging any other device while the computer boots.

Good luck
