When my 2nd 20gig hard drive was currupted (Not formated correctly) my computer used to hang at "Windows is starting up" for 1 or 2 minutes, I would then be given a I/O error if I try to explore the hard drive, maybe it could be related to a currupt hard disk

Did you set it up yourself?
How long have you been running it?

Sounds like a seriously messed up windows install to me.

Firefox seems to take ages to start up on any PC i've ever seen, for the first load. Nice and fast after that.
