    My C2D Macbook Pro starts up really slowly for some reason. When I hit the power button, the computer makes the startup noise and then is stuck at a gray screen for like a minute or two (it seems like a really long time) and then the apple logo appears. From then on, it's fine but why is my MBP doing this to me? I've run a verify disk check and nothing is wrong. I've used mainmenu and such to clean up my entire computer and privlidges and such but it's still like this. Is there a fix? Thanks!

    Nevermind. I fixed it myself. Turns out after installing bootcamp I forgot to select a startup disk.
