Re: Win XP Pro startup options

hi Rick

I had the hard drive freeze on me and crash . When I restarted the comp ,the
boot up failed . So I restarted , used F8 then ran CHkDSK at the c:>and it
finally booted up after it ran the check disk .

Since then though , on a startup , it boots very very slowly and I cant
figure out why as It never was before that hard drive. On the boot cycle it
turns the montior on twice .....it never did that before either . After that
inital CHKDKS, I acutally did another check disk by going to my computer >
properties>tools>check now . Under check disk options I checked both boxes .
Then I Restarted the comp and on the reboot it ran the check disk which took
hours and did it said it repaired some errors . But not the boot up issue .

Is this a boot ini issue ? Or another issue ? any solution suggestions ?
