There is a long delay to windows xp loading bar after post screen, something like 10 seconds. I have even disabled floppy disk in bios and enabled quick boot, I can't quite point to what the problem is. Not even sure it is hardware or OS related.

Maybe it could be sign of my harddrive early problem? I am going to download hitachi disk diagnosis but is there any boot ISO to download that comes with everything including every disk manufacturers' diagnosis?

What should I check next?

Cheers
 
Ok, my drive has passed Hitachi's drive fitness test! I have run Bootvis and the graph shows that hdd doing nothing for the first 6 seconds before starting to spin. It is enabled in DMA mode and I can't find anything odd with it, maybe it's time to change IDE? I don't have one so I will get it.

My integrated LAN has failed a month ago, maybe it's the sign of my mobo going to fail?! :rolleyes: But boot up problem has been like that for some months now, I can't remember how it started...
