well, I can't explain it ver y well... but I formatted this pc 3 times, one of them was because the boot was taking 5 minutes, after I turn it on, a black screen with some white bar to load, it takes about 4 min to load 1/3 and then it auto-completes and finishes the boot normally with the windows XP loading screen and all stuff
I just wanna know where is the problem, I reckon is the HD, but... dunno, gonna post here the situation
my HD has two partitions, C: and D:...
1st format: Windows XP Professional SP2 was on C:, taking 5 mins to load, I can't say when it started, but it was after like 8 months after I bought the pc
2nd format (on D: ): didn't have any problems with this whie loading screen at all
3rd format (now, C: again, 1 year and half later:: the problem came back, just as I installed windows xp on C: again :/
looks like some HD problem... well, would be good if someone could give me some advice on that, thx
