oh my god..what have i done :( :'(

hello guys..its me again..
i think i broke down my mbp this time..
i tried to install winxp via bootcamp and i succeed..but after i booted up with xp i inserted the drivers disk which my mbp burned earlier on bootcamp but windows said it needed a newer version of installer and on that moment i decided to uninstall it of course...problems even before i started to work on windows..
anyway i turned back to mac os and deleted windows via bootcamp and since than my mbp sarts up in 50 seconds..it really makes me feel down..cuz before i installed windows it was booting up in 15-20 seconds..
what happened??did bootcamp deleted sth else??
or is it bill gates' curse??
and i didnt install anything else since then i mean it couldnt be because of installing more applications and also i didnt put sth on my hd..
help please..thanxx

Try uninstalling boot camp all together and completely delete the windows partition it created. If this doesn't work then you, in all likely hood, did catch the Bill Gate's curse.:)

Also try this. Open System Preferences, Startup Disk and click on the OSX drive and click restart. See if that speeds up finding the boot drive. It's worked for me in the past.
