Slowdowns on a dual-boot system?
Posted: 12 Jan 2009, 14:12
Hihi
So I've been trying to get Linux and WinXP to play nice, but I keep finding that HDD access under WinXP is HORRIBLE for some reason. Access time under Linux is okay.
Details: Tried Ubuntu, but went back to SuSE hoping I'd have better luck. No dice.
Hardware: ASUS L4R 1.5 GHz.
I'm not too knowledgeable on Linux yet, having only recently started tinkering with bootables like Knoppix and the various Live CD distros out there. This is my first real attempt at a dual boot system. Installed Linux as instructed by the HOWTO's, stuffed WinXP in its own partition, and got them coexisting in the bootloader ... only yeah, HDD access in particular and hardware performance in general under windows is practically useless.
Anybody have some ideas or advice on this?
