My PC needs sometimes ridiculous amount of time to boot up, often making me worried that some kind of fatal error happened - it has happened at some occasions before.

This answer sounds like a great opportunity to see if everything's alright during the boot phase.

But since I couldn't find anything in Google, I'd like to ask you to tell: what should I exactly see and expect when Windows XP is started with /noguiboot parameter?

I want to know, what to expect so I can find possible errors more easily.

You would see a blank screen, instead of the windows logo startup. It just makes startup slightly faster.

But, don't do it! if you schedule a disk scan (chkdsk) you won't be able to see what is going on. Instead, it will seem like your computer has frozen on a blank screen.
