| 146509 | 2003-05-22 11:39:00 | hello...... i have a 15G hdd splitted into 2 equal partitions. partition1 i installed win2000(Fat32) and in partition2 i installed mandrake 9 (new to linux). I didnt have any problems installing them, and linux works fast and great. But when i want to boot into win2000, win2000 is extremely slow. everything is so slow. it take a couple of mins just to open my computer.(wasnt like this before I install linux). Why is it that windows become so slow? and how can I fix it?? By the way, pc specs are... P3 500 256mb sdram Thanks :) |

| 146512 | 2003-05-23 10:00:00 | u mean if i use win2000 cd to repair it mite trash the dural boot with linux? | Blue_face (1148) | ||

| 146514 | 2003-05-23 21:23:00 | Yes, it could do, but Im pretty sure you can specify what parts you want Doze to repair.. maybe that's only with WinXP though. If you were a clever person when installing, you'll still have your boot disk for Mandrake. If not, make another. Should things go wrong and Win2K over-writes your Boot Loader, you can re-install LILO or Grub as the Boot Loader. Ive done it with RedHat 8 installing Grub again, apparently LILO would have been easier :-) You're probably best of writing it to the first sector of that partition and then using XOSL to manager your OS's :-) Hope this helps Cheers Chilling_Silence |
