go to microsofts website and search fast boot
its a program they developed for nt and works great with XP
and dowload bootvis.
it will restart your comp. analyze its boot-up and reconfigure the boot sequence it knock bout 14-15 off my boot time
but if its really taking 10 min i'd format and reinstall
