It happens when your first boot device is set as CDROM and there is some CD in that which is not bootable.
So it checks that CD for boot records then it move to HDD and then boot from it. So it takes time.

What you need to do is to change boot order to
first --> HDD
Second --> CDROM

That way it will boot faster.

Also if there is some hardware problem in your CD drive then also it takes long.
