re-arranging boot files and DE-fragmentation of hard disk could solve this issue.<br />
start system in xp with administrative privilege. i assume that you have installed windows xp in C drive.<br />
start &gt;&nbsp;run &gt;&nbsp;cmd &gt;&nbsp;press ok &gt;&nbsp;type following command without quotes &quot;defrag c: /b&quot;.<br />
exit from command prompt.<br />
open my computer &gt;&nbsp;right click on C drive &gt;&nbsp;properties &gt;&nbsp;tools tab &gt;&nbsp;click on &quot;defragment now&quot; &gt;&nbsp;select C drive and click on Defragment .<br />
this can take an hour less /more depends on your partition size.<br />
after finishing that shutdown your system and start it again.<br />

i have a macbook pro. with bootbamp. snow and xp. i used my xp at work and is part of a domain. every now and then, during boot, when the xp logo is show and the progress bar is moving at the bottom, well, it hangs, after about 3 revolutions of that progress bar.<br />
<br />
my workaround is to reboot to mac, then restart and it works. this is becoming a pain. i also have windows as the default boot OS since i use it mainly for work.<br />
<br />
anyone know how to fix ?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />
