Okay, here are the facts with my computer.
Dell Dimension 4100, Windows ME, got it in 2001.
Since then i have upgraded my RAM up to 500MB
I have upgraded my Operating System to XP.
And it would start up fine, whenever you start the computer, you see the dell splash screen and it's just there for a second or two and then it continues to startup.
I recently just switched out my 20 G hard drive and got a new one, an 80 G hard drive. I successfully copied everything over fine and now I just have my new hard drive as the primary master etc.. and i'm not even using my old one.
Now, ever since then, my computer starts up a lot slower. When it hits that dell splash screen on initial startup, instead of a few seconds it sits there for like a minute or two, and then it starts up fine, what is with the longer stall???????? How can i get that to go back to a quicker startup????
