computer wont boot

Hi, I recently upgraded my Hp Pavilion from windows ME to windows xp after I had restored it to factory settings in order to fix previous problems. I have done this routine before, but this time after I had reinstalled windows xp the computer has been having booting issues. It now takes somewhere between a hour to two hours to load xp. Although once it has loaded it works fine. Any help would be appreciated. I am at my wits end.
Thanks

Ok, I've tried it, but my computer is doing the same thing again. Heres some more information that might help. When I turn my hp pavilion on it loads ok until the hp screen than it goes blank. Then sometimes it loads xp, but only after a couple of hours and then sometimes it doesnt load xp at all. Hope that helps. Thanks
