Here's a question for the wizards.

A while ago I built a hard disk into my pc-compatible (philips P3100).
The disk is a seagate st138R controlled by an OMTI controller.
When booting the system, especially when switching it on, its starts
up slooooow (real slow i.e.). It seems to access the disk quite quick
after (re)-boot then waits a while, after that starts to do what it's
expected to do, i.e. starting to read stuff from disk and booting.

Anyone gto any bright idea's what might be causing this slow start.
Any solutions ??

			Thanks in advance,
				Peter.
