MAN! TWO MINUTES???!!! HMMMMMMM......How much ram do you have? I have a AMD athelon 1 gig processor and 360 mb of ram and it only takes a few SECONDS to load xp!!!!!(corp. version) I would think something is VERY wrong!!! Because it should not take that long under ANY circumstances I am aware of......
My Pentium 3 900/512 laptop goes from cold boot to done in under a minute (including putting in BIOS password and Windows password)
Something seems very wrong...do you have any networking items such as DHCP enabled? That made my W2K Server slow

Don't know if this is your problem, but try disabling your sound card and see if it fixes it. I have a Live, and in Win2k, it would hang for a while when logging in (though not quite that long). But it only did this after installing the sound card drivers. I think it was a problem with Win2k making everything share an IRQ with the Live. If that is the problem, you might be able to change the IRQ in the bios or something.
