I have no doubt that this is a Windows issue, but figured someone in this forum would more likely have experience with this one.
Got a second hard drive for Linux/FreeBSD, an old Seagate 4 gig from a crappo Acer box I had in various pieces here. The drive works fine, and the install of Red Hat 6.1 worked as usual, but suddenly Windows takes forever to boot, and locks shortly after I get in. At the point Windows slows down and halts, I can hear activity on the Linux drive. Lilo works properly. I formatted the Seagate drive as Fat32 before installing Linux to make sure it worked ok, and it did under Windows then. No obvious problems at that point.
So, anyone seen this and possibly fixed it before? I've always used partitions in the past, this is my first run with a dedicated drive for the other OS. Currently the Windows drive with two partitions is Primary master, Kenwood CD-ROM is slaved to the Windows drive, and the Linux drive is secondary master.
