You can disable the windows XP splash screen, but you should be aware that removing the splash screen will also cause you not to see any boot-up messages, such as chkdsk, but it should boot a little quicker also.
Edit boot.ini
Add " /noguiboot" right after "/fastdetect".
If you need to go back, or have trouble, you can simply remove the new switch from your boot.ini file.
