I have noticed that when booting into XP, it sometimes takes ages to get from the "loging in" to I am actual on the desktop. I have noticed that there is a lot going on one either one of my WD MyBooks - and if I turn the HD off (the one that seems to be scanned or something) I am logged in instantly.

Is there something i can do to make Windows stop scanning or searching the hard disk when booting?

Clean install with all drivers running and so on.

Thanks for any inputs.
