It's a bit difficult to help with the information provided. For instance,
where is it taking a long time. At post, after post but before OS kicks in.
While windows is booting. Also what have you changed on the computer
recently. Installed new hardware, software lately. Is the computer on a
Network perhaps. What happens if you boot to Safe Mode?

What you could also do, is go to the help file and have a look at the
Troubleshooting guides. They may be of some help.

Cheers
Brendon
