My laptop is having an issue where it boots up and then it freezes for about 2-4 minutes before you can actually use it. What I mean is when I turn the system on, it goes through boot sequence and passes the welcome screen.

Before that I made images of my XP and Vista partitions on my old disk which I installed on my new hard disk. (Unfortunately, I had forgotten to save the Dell recovery partition.)
