Default Tweak your BIOS for faster startup PC options
Goto PC BIOS setup and disable few things. It will help to boot any computer faster. No matter if you use Windows XP or Linux

Press F1 or F10 or supported key by your BIOS

Look for POST test (quick power on self test)
Enable this option so that it will not do all the tests.

Disable boot up floppy seek option

Disable boot delay option

Also disable auto dictation of Hard disk and other IDE devices. Assign values manually and save the bios.

Hope this helps
