Install an SSD like me and u will be having boot times <10 secs.

Field Note #3 @The Edge3000 2009-09-07

Snow leopard takes ages for me to boot as well - and I don't think it's the hard drive's fault. It drops a few messages on verbose mode, HDD light goes off, Wait, wait, wait, HDD light comes on and it goes to the desktop. I think it may have something to do with having two other Windows NTFS partitions on the same drive that it has to detect.
