my problem is this:
i switch on my computer(amd athlon 1600 with xp)and xp starts to load, it takes aboout 1.5 minutes to load to the desktop,then the computer hangs for about 50 seconds and then continues to load in for another minute(i timed it).my friend has windows 98 and his takes alot less time to load also shutting down takes even longer than on windows 98.also every five minutes or so my harddrive will kick in and start making the noise it makes when its loading something in(this lasts for about 1 minute)but im not loading anything in.
is this normal
