I figured it meant something along those lines but it seems so extreme I was doubtful! does this involve reinstalling window XP though because my brother stole my copy and took it to college with him and he lost it.

Actually I wasn't kidding, if you want to completely clean your HD, just wipe all the data and get a fresh start.

Search google for mike lin's startup editor and go to www.blkviper.com and find out which services you can turn off. Uninstall any programs you dont need. Defrag your hard drive do norton disk utilities. Do alot to clear out your start up , Taskpower is freeware but im not shure if its on the net i got it in some PC mag. Anyway if you can find it Taskpower can turn off services and processes at startup. I get a 30 Second start up, power button to desktop

Exactly, but if you lost the OS discs, you can't really
