Starting trouble; Engine noise and smell

1997 Vauxhall Corsa
Car: Vauxhall Corsa
Year: 1997
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi, I have trouble starting my car. It takes at least 6 attempts before it starts. When it does start, it makes the horrible squealing sound which lasts for 10 minutes as the car is running and I can smell "burnt rubber" coming from the bonnet of the car. Would this be the battery, alternator, belt or the starter?

Please help!

Thanks!
Gareth
