Sounds like the problem I had with my AV scanning/conflicting with programs. Try turning off your AV software and see if the problem still exists.

Thanks, I just built it in december so yeah, it shouldnt be taking 5 minutes, this is why it is such a concern.
I am on a network, and what exactly do you mean by "av software"?
Thanks,

Thanks everyone for your help!
I have solved the problem.... located a copy of bootvis and ran that, seems to have fixed the problem.
