So a few days ago my hard drive started behaving erratically so I had my hard drive replaced for my macbook core 2 duo. I used superduper to backup original drive and then used the backup to duplicate the new hard drive (by using the install cd and using disk utility). The hard drive works fine and the computer seems to run faster. However, the boot up time is kind of ridiculous. It takes a long time before the apple logo shows up. Once the apple logo shows up however, the os boots up nicely. Did I do something wrong?

go to System Prefs, select Startup Disk, and select your new internal drive

that should help
