This problem has started recently. No hardware changes. No major software
installs.

Almost every time I boot the computer, after the "Starting Windows" screen I
get a blue text screen with "Please wait......" and then it continues
printing more white dots (periods) for several lines. This can take up to 10
minutes sometimes, nearly filling the screen.

A search on Google suggested "fsutil query dirty C:" and "chkntfs C:", but
these always tell me that the volume is NOT dirty.

I am running Windows XP Pro with all the latest patches and all drivers are
the latest versions. C: is a raid0 stripe using two 500GB drives to make a
1000GB volume.

If you have any ideas on what the problem might be, or how to diagnose it,
please let me know.

In my experience this can have several different causes:
you have a virus
run your virus check program

your memory is going bad
check your ram with memtest86, http://www.memtest86.com/, get the free
download and make a bootable disk

your system files are corrupt
from the run box type: sfc /scannow
this will restore your system files if errors are found

your hard disk is going bad
this is the least likely, if the cause, change HD
