P-IV running Windows XP home, takes about 12 minutes to completely
boot. Display completes in a timely fashion, but the hard disk churns
on and on and nothing is useable until it completes, etc. Any help
greatly appreciated & thanks ...

Microsoft's BootVis is a good tool for seeing what is happening. It
helped me. Mostly I found that the system was running a full scan.
