 XP Start up - RattleandSmoke
Sounds like a failing hard drive, or a heavily fragmented file system. An Athlon XP 1.6Ghz should be able to boot in about 90 seconds easily. For basic tasks with 1GB of RAM they still quite fast machines.

I would do a surface test on the hard drive, as I suspect it may be full of bad sectors.
