Hopefully you're not trolling.
He is ... windows xp, with 128M of memory ... doesn't have time for anything except swapping for the first 5-10 minutes while it starts up.
Do this: hdparm /dev/hda
It's very important the DMA acces is on (1)
/dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on)
To optimize disk access you could use this:
hdparm -c1d1u1W1 /dev/hda
If you see improvement, put it in /etc/init.d/boot.local
And read man hdparm so you understand hdparm.
You could try hdparm -t /dev/hda before and after.
