Well, by very slow startup, it could be the drive structure itself. The cache on laptops are uusually 8MB seek for fast ones, 4MB seek for medium and 2MB seek for standard ones. the speed of the IDE (IDE/66, 100 or 133) will tell the entire difference. Although, it could be due to a defrag. Try defragmenting the drive.
