OK going on from the upgrading to Vista and yes i did try it again and wished i had not.
Now after restoring my pc back to XP i am thinking it is taking a long time to boot up.
I timed it and its taking 2 mins 6 secs i know it dont seem like a lot and not sure weather its because i had not really taken much notice of it before but just feels like its taking its time to load.
ok my machine is a 3.2 gig p4 with a 1 gig ram and a 320 gig hard drive now running XP
The time that i got was from when i first push the power button to when all programs are loaded (start up ones) and the PC then is free for using and the hard drive light isnt on.
Am i just being stupid and fussy or should i try another restore.
Thanks All

Vista is way slower to boot. I'm booting XP in about 30 seconds. Vista would take about 2-3 minutes

Anything over two minutes is way too long for XP. There's loads of possible reasons for it but it's usually a software based problem, such as too many startup items, a malfunctioning startup item or registry problems.
So doing another restore probably won't help matters. Only a fresh install, i.e. backup all of your stuff and start again from scratch, would solve the problem.
Failing hard drives can also lead to slow startups. I'd run a hardware check on the hard drive before doing a fresh install just to make sure, even if it's fairly new
