Every time Win2k boots it will check the onboard controller if there is any drives attached. If you don’t have the habit of swapping IDE units in and out or you have none installed at all, then you might want to disable the scanning for IDE units and get a faster bootup.
Go here : Control Panel - System - Hardware-tab - Device Manager-button - IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers-node
There select properties for your Primary- and Secondary-Channel and go to Advanced Settings where you can change the Device Type from "Auto detection" to "None" when there is no IDE Unit attached
