Question about XP Boot Camp Startup

[zane19]

Hey everyone, more of a general question here, no biggie, but whenever I start my bootcamp Windows XP it always takes a long time to load (over two minutes) it seems to freeze up around the flash screen for these two minutes. Then eventually it will come to the Windows desktop and everything will be snappy, I haven't been around any other bootcamp computers, I wanted to know if that is normal? I know my Dad's regular PC which is much weaker, loads much faster for some reason. Is this normal?

when i had xp pro installed with boot camp it would take about a minute and a half to 2 minutes stuck on the blue screen saying applying personal settings or something.... i now run vista ultimate with boot camp and it loads substantially faster
