Slow boot

Hi there,

Well, since I have XP PRO (5 years) I have a booting problem that nobody has been 
able to solve so far.

Now, after some years, I try again, maybe there's more experience around and some 
of you can help.

When I switch my desktop on,  I get all the disk controls etc. in DOS, then, a blank 
screen for 27 sec., finally the Windows XP image page that introduces to all the 
windows booting process.

The 27 sec. are a constant since day one, in the past I tried Bootvis and did whatever 
was possible to reduce the booting time, but no changes. 
I also formatted my PC, no change.
All the services are perfectly matching  my needs, therefore the ones I do not need 
are disabled.

My machine is clean, no spywares, no malware, no virus or so, the registry is clean.

After 5 years the bloody 27 sec. are there and still, do not know why.

Connection is not the problem, I was on cable before, on ADSL now, same story.

I still hope somebody can help me to understand, I never lose my hope :)

Thank you guys.

Alex
