Hi Harry
you have 2 big HDD's !
This takes time !!

On my system I do have 3 HDD's
7.5 GB Systems only
20 GB System dedicated data only
75 GB User and Shared Data

The configuration without the 75 GB HDD needed ca 1 1/2 mintes to
boot ...
... now with this big 75 GB added it needs 4 minutes with an
1.3MHz CPU
and 512MB RAM !!!

It seems that the bigger the drives the longer the time will be.

ONE question:
Why is your C: partition 8 GB ???
My first drive with system partitions i.e. looks like following:

Disk 1
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????????
Partition Information
Name Status Access FS Type
MBytes
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????????
WS221DOS Bootable : Primary FAT
1004
None : Unusable
FreeSpace 2831
Startable : Primary
BOOT MANAGER 7
WS221_A Bootable : Primary HPFS
1106
WS221_F Bootable C: Primary HPFS
1106
None : Unusable
FreeSpace 1106

Changing the SWAP path to another drive than the system
partitions drive
also speeds up !

Compacting all your partition sizes may result in a faster boot
up time too !?

ONE more question:
You use DaniS506.ADD with some parms ! Why ?
Normally there are no parms needed !?

Are you also using the other drivers from Dani: DaniATAPI and
DaniDASD ?

Well, I stop here and may come with another comments and
questions
after studying your CONFIG.SYS :-)

Have a nice day !
svobi
