To diagnose your system at boot go here
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm and under B download Bootvis.
Note from that page:
Bootvis is a Boot performance trace visualization tool for use with Windows
XP systems.
It gives a graphical view of what processes are doing what and when during
boot and allow you to optimize your boot up.
There are also some other helpful hints on that site for speeding up the
boot process.
