Normally, you're asked to press F1 OR check your bios for a problem. Have you checked there for unidentified or misidentified hardware? You may have a defective part like a cd drive that is causing this fault and slow boot.

Could you tell us if this is a name brand computer or a home built one.
Could you please post the complete system specs for this computer. Please list the parts by brand and model including the power supply.  Cricket

What is the Ultra DMA setting reported under Start/Control Panel/System/Device Manager/Primary IDE ? It could have dropped down to PIO mode due to hard disk errors, and that mode will seriously slow down any hard disk activity
