Windows taking ages to load

[malccy]

Hi

did a fresh install of xp pro today and am now getting 30ish cycles of the bar before Windows finally loads. If someone could help and give some advice i'd be really grateful.

Thanks in advance.

hmm.... yes I do boot from the Raptor but with previous build it was fine and this is still loading games quickly etc (usually one of first to load a new map in cod2 mp) so think it must be xp linked. It seems to stop halfway through (with bar still scrolling) and then it will suddenly begin to load up again and finish completing the loading.
