Exclamation Windows Startup!

When I turn my PC on, it automatically scans one of my drives before windows loads up. This takes about five minutes and is very annoying.

How can I remove the scan? Below shows the startup file, should something be different? Help will be greatly appreciated!


[Boot Loader]
Timeout=0
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

look in the startup tab in msconfig,, not boot ini tab your must have a app like antivirus running at start up,, check in the startup or check your antivirus app to see if theres a schedule at startup. if so untick.
