Hard drive accessing at bootup for 30 min

I have a Windows 2000 system. At bootup my hard drive acts as if something is accessing it and my system idle process is at 95% this will go on for about 30 min. I have ran a program to see what is loading at start up, I have only three things none of which would be causing this to happen. Ran spybot, adaware and cwshredder all found nothing. Any ideas would be great before I reload everything. Thanks.

There was a discussion about the SIP(System Idle Process) on this forum not so long ago. The system idle process is a way of counting how much processor capacity is free. When you look at the SIP and it says that it's at 95% that means that 95% of the processors capacity is IDLE. Another way of putting this is to say that only 5% of your processors capacity is in use. So there's nothing to worry about. As I write this my SIP is between 88% and 99%, the name says it all really: System IDLE Process
If the SIP was a 0% then you'd have a problem because this would mean that 100% of you processors capacity is in use.
Hope this answers your question.
