Unhappy XP and Vista taking too long to start

Hi guys I have a strange problem...Whenver my OS loads ie Xp or Vista,it takes at least 2 -3 minutes because my IDE connected DVD writers(one year old) try to read during the startup and my system temporarily freezes at that time ..I checked the IDE cables they are fine..I disconnected them still problem persists...Please suggest a solution..

My config:
C2D @2.66GHz
ASUS P5QE
Palit Radeon HD 4870 Sonic 1 GB
Corsair 2x2GB 800MHz
Seagate barracuda 500GB with 32MB cache

I had similar problem where it takes too long to boot. In my case, it was problem with sata cables. reconnected them and it worked fine.

Set the boot sequence in the BIOS to boot from the HDD.
