Boot Lagging

[scomb09]

FIXED NOW
Turns out an installation of VMware was causing the delay. Got rid of VMWare, got rid of problem.

I have been living with this problem for a while, and I'm in the mood to try to do some more work. The issue that I have never been able to figure out occurs at Boot. Although my build is fully functional, it will take about 7 minutes to boot. After the white screen with the apple, it will go to a blue screen. After giving it a few minutes it will load my desktop. Any ideas what could be going on?

Radeon HD6870
i7
GA-Z68X-UD7-B3
either 750 or 850 Watt PSU (Can't quite remember now) (away from my machine)

So removing VMware from this system fix this problem - which os had VMware installed on it - was this on a seperate volume !!!! Like ESX does.

Confused....
