Pause i opstart WinXP

Har en Dell Inspiron 4150, som jeg lige har givet en ny WinXP installation - valgte at oprette en ny NTFS partition og slette de gamle ( måske en fejl at jeg slettede den lille partition (mbr)?? )

Alt kører sådan set perfekt bortset fra opstarten hvor XP har en laaang pause på ca 60sekunder lige når baggrundstapetet på skrivebordet er kommet frem. Her står den så uden ikoner eller processlinie og venter i et minut hvorefter alle ikoner og processlinie kommer frem og alt kører normalt igen.

Har en lille ide om at det måske er fordi at jeg har slettet den lille partition der var på harddisken, er det ikke noget med at ældre laptops har brug for den (mbr) ?

Har prøvet at Google dette problem, og fandt noget der ligner mit fænomen (se nedenunder!!) - men fandt ikke nogen løsning.

Håber et en kan hjælpe, på forhånd tak.






Symptoms
After you choose to start Windows from the Boot menu, you may experience a long delay (or pause) before your computer finishes starting. Note that this delay may range from 10 seconds to a minute. Also, this delay occurs before the Starting Windows progress bar appears, and your computer may appear to stop responding (hang) during this time.

Cause
This behavior can occur if Windows is installed on a drive or a partition to which Windows cannot gain access with normal Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) INT-13 or INT-13 extension calls. When Windows Setup determines it cannot use BIOS calls to start, it uses scsi() or signature() syntax in the Boot.ini file instead of multi() syntax.

When booting a system that requires scsi() or signature() syntax, Ntldr loads an additional device driver (Ntbootdd.sys) to initialize and interrogate the boot controllers in your computer. Ntldr then seeks the associated boot drive attached to the controller to finish loading the kernel. These additional operations take more time in Windows because of the Plug and Play nature of the operating system.

This behavior is expected, however, Windows Setup may use scsi() or signature() syntax, even if your computer can boot using the normal BIOS calls. This may occur on Integrated Drive Electronics-based computers when using a large capacity boot drive. In this case, you can try adding an additional entry in the Boot.ini file and use multi() syntax on the new entry to boot from. Note that if this works, your computer starts without pausing.
