Slow Bootup Time/Other issues

I get bootup times of about 2 - 4 minutes, I've tried replacing the RAM, removing every USB device, running in safe mode, changing startup programs, and finally a system restore to about 2 months ago, to no avail. It happened after I installed some damnable windows updates last weekend, and as I said, system restore did not work. The first critical error is below, the rest have just been warnings.I would like to avoid reinstalling Vista if possible.

On an unrelated note, it also cannot read DVDs/CDs unless I reboot it (doesn't have the issue if it's connected to the internet).

Thanks in advance to whoever helps, I apologize if this is in the wrong section.

I get a bootup time of about 2 to 3 minutes with Vista, and even with 7 as well. I would not worry about that part, though the errors may be a bit more serious.

Could be your drive going bad. Mine actually just went bad, so I had to grab a new one. Also, make sure the drivers are installed.
