| 1455838 | 2018-11-21 21:35:00 | Changing the shared partitions from NTFS to FAT32 solved the lock up problem. W10 fast boot no longer locks them. I had to move one file which was over 4GB. | mzee (3324) | ||
| 1455839 | 2018-11-26 18:50:00 | [QUOTE=mzee;1283574]I have a Dell Intel Core i7 laptop with 2 drives. * 931GB Seagate ST1000LM035-IRK172 (sata) * 119GB LITEON CV8-8E128-11 SATA 128GB (SATA SSD) My main OS is Mint 18.3, dual booted with Windows 10 Pro 64bit v1803, both on the SSD. I need more space on the SSD, so cloned the W10 to a partition on the Seagate. Works Ok but takes up to 4 minutes to boot W10, and at least a minute to shut down. The W10 on the SSD boots in about 40 seconds. The Seagate seems to be slow anyway because when I do a backup to it, it takes longer than to an external USB 1T West? hard drive. I have scanned the Seagate for malware with Malwarebytes, and RougeKiller but found nothing. Mint takes about 5 seconds to boot on the SSD, and about 1 minute on the Seagate. What is slowing the Seagate? It is silent, no rattles etc. mzee...hi. I tried Linux Mint 19 *Tara* a few week ago and it was slow as a wet week to get to the user desktop. Installed to a 500GB Seagate Sata 2 HDD. it lasted a couple of hours as I couldn't use any Media player as I had to go get drivers etc. Re: Cloning...I used Easeus Partition Master 10 to clone a Win 10 Pro x1803 x64 OS and updates/installed apps etc from an 80GB Sata 2 HDD to a 160GB HDD, both Seagate 7200RPM and the 'Clone' would take minimum 5 minutes to open to usable Desktop but 1 minute to be usable on the original instal to the 80GB HDD. After a week of getting hacked off with it I used the Free version of Easeus Todo Backup, created a Full System backup of the 80GB HDD saved to External 4TB HDD, booted into the 80GB HDD, deleted partitions on the 160GB HDD and installed the Full Backup to it. Boot to usable desktop on the 160GB HDD was 1 minute close enough...Sp Cloning gave me the sa,e probs that you seem to be having. I don't know if Todo is usable with Linux but just thought I would mention the slow boot to usable desktop that I was handed after I had Cloned a System HDD to another HDD. One thing was that the Full System backup to the 160GB HDD was installed to a partition that was 73GB (the used size on the 80GB HDD) and the remaining 70GB Space was Unallocated and I had to Resize the Partition using Easeus Partition Master to make 1 partition of 145GB (approx) I did away with it all and DL'd Win 10 Pro v1809 x64 and installed that to a 1TB Sata HDD and use that now..Good luck. www.easeus.com |

What is slowing the Seagate? It is silent, no rattles etc. I would suspect it's stuffed...noise is only one type of hardware damage, they can fail without noise. Do a scan using a hard drive checker. |
