I am using my sisters computer and when I switch it on it is really slow booting up and it actually pauses for a minute (the hard drive appears to stop) before it resumes again. Is there any reason why it would do this and is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening as it significantly slows the booting up time. Could it be something to do with the bios settings? It has a Pentium III processor and the operating system is Windows 98 any help would be most appreciated.
