After a drop left my laptop screen cracked, I ordered a replacement screen and put it in. It displays fine and boots up all of the way until it prompts me to execute startup repair. It will run for a long long time and finally decide that it can't be fixed. I know the screen fits and works, I just need to know what to do in order to make windows accept it.
Check the windows repair or even reinstall windows with a disc so that everything is detected.
Testimonial: "Tried running windows repair and it will go forever saying that it could not complete. I lost my windows CD, so I was hoping there was a way to get the new monitor driver on without having to wipe everything. It worked great before the new screen, minus the cracks."
Yea, I understand even though it worked with old the new is still new hardware and would need to be detected you can try to get a cd from a friend or family or get it somewhere downloadable and burn it at a friends or something so that you can use a cd to repair and not reinstall .

SOURCE: Windows XP Unusually Slow Startup
There is a program called Boot Speed you can find by searching inside of MajorGeeks.com
Otherwise, I'd like to know what antivirus software you are using. Some antivirus programs can really slow down a bootup time because they usually scan a lot of prgrams and XP services at boot up.
Then you would want to get hold of an XP tweak utility, best one is Cacheman XP that you can find at MajorGeeks.com also.
Once Cacheman is installed and open the program you will see a tap in the program window called Tweaks. When you are in there, open the Help file and read the help associated with the Tweaks and you will see some good guidance on turning off settings available in buried locations of XP. The programs MS now downloads for you like Malicious Software program will slow down your boot speeds too.
XP is notoriously slow at booting and yours is about 30 outside the average bootup times you should expect.
SOURCE: Network Boot Windows XP?
Put the HDD in any other computer , creat a folder called XPbackup and copy the XP cd to the folder, Start the XP install from the other computer , when the install stops for CD key , turn of the computer and remove the HDD and put the HDD on the laptop and turn it on , Mostly the installation should start from where it stoped. If the Xp install askes for the source files , browse to the folder created and point to the files. Most of the time XP will install a generic HAL so no need to worry.

SOURCE: windows does not displayed after boot, just "black screen".
Is your CMOS battery (CR2032) good? I think you need to replace it since you have problem acessing the Bios.
Testimonial: "i just bought it last month"
SOURCE: Mahjong Titans (Windows 7) worked well until
try running winows 7 in safe mode, ie hit F8 on startup before windos stars then try to run the game, if it works in safe mode it could be the graphics card on the way out.
cheers
