It really a slow laptop with only 1gig may just be the reason but try,
Hybernation is usually on by default which many don't need. This makes another large storage file in your root directory similiar to pagefile.sys.
If you want to disable hybernation file go to the Dos Cmd prompt and type
powercfg -h off
You need the space between just like I wrote.
Reboot and see what happens.


The other thing that may be going on is your virus scanner is scanning on bootup each time.

Please let me know what you find.

Open an elevated Command Prompt (run as admin) and type schtasks, then hit Enter. See whether anything is scheduled at boot time (e.g. disk defrag or similar).
Another reason could be a defective startup program. Disable all startups (in msconfig) and check whether that helps. If yes, you have to try them one by one to find the culprid.
