Slow starting 4100

The hardware is a Dell 4100 933mhz 256mb ram and 20gb generic IDE disk drive (type 47) I have a CD_R and a CD_RW. I am currently running the following: Win Me 4.90.3000, IE 5.50.4807.2300 with my trusty Outlook Express .50.4807.1700. My startups are ZA 2.6.362, Spyblocker 5.0 and AVG 7.0.308.  As my subject implies header implies when I first boot-up the OEM logo stays up for about 45 seconds. Normally it flashes by so quickly it is barely seen. When I run boot analyzer http://www.woundedmoon.org/win32/bootloganalyzer123.html and sort by duration the items that delay the most are these
 
11:31:14    0.28  Loading PNP drivers of Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 64V (WDM) (PCI\VEN_1274&DEV_1371&SUBSYS_13711274&REV_09\60F000

Has anyone experienced the Dell logo just sitting on the monitor? If so what did you do about it?
 
Along with this my CD-r and CD-rw are not recognized by my computer. I don't know if this is related. When I boot from a floppy I get these messages
 
Diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to drive D
Device driver not found: 'MSCD001'
No valid CDROM device drivers selected.
 
Has anyone else had this happen and what did you do to solve it?
 
Thank you
 
Rita

Rita:

Boot to system setup and see what CD devices are reported under IDE configuration. While there, try resetting the config data (change to Yes). Also, if it's not set, change your boot option to quick.

Post back and let me know what happened.

Did you recently make a hardware change to the computer? For the logo staying up longer, press and hold the delete key upon startup (this will bring you into the BIOS). I can't remember the tab name offhand, but hit right to cycle through the menus until you see two options at the very top called quick boot and quiet boot. Enable both of these.

I'm not certain about the other problem though.

Thank you for your reply. Under IDE configuration I have IDE controller selected to both. The primary IDE master is Maxtor. All other IDE items are "not installed". I reset the config data to yes. The boot option was set to "quick and quiet". I am still getting the Dell logo. The boot order reads as follows:

1st Boot device    Floppy

2nd boot device    ARMD-FDD

3rd boot device     IDE-HDD

4th                          atapi cdrom

5th                          disabled
