Manual Starting SQL Server ... delay...

When I start the SQL Server by command prompt for single user mode it is
taking lots of time(15 minutes) to start the SQL Server. My computer is a
slow system but it is not very bad slow computer.
IS it a resonable time or not?
SQL 2K.
Thanks,

Therefore you should look in the SQLServer logs,how much time the databases
need to come up,on every start the database are checked while opened if any
inconsictencys exsists. If so,the database is "repaired" (open transactions
are rolled back,etc.). The betteryou leave the system duringthe shutdown the
faster it gets up on a restart.
SQL Server logs can be found in the Control node of SQL Server -- Current
Log.
