Slow recognising of drives on dual boot PC (XP/Win98se)
Why does my XP takes a long time to open "My Computer" ?
The "torchlight" will be swinging anything from 2 to 4 mins before it can detect all the drives. Other than that, it's quite normal. Could it be because of my motherboard upgrade ? I just slot in back the HDD after upgrading the motherboard. (Use enum key trick for win98se but did nothing with the XP) PC is dual boot (win98se and XP). |

Its a P3-1.2gig with an Asus TUSL2 mainboard.
CD-rom, CD-RW, 20 gig HD with C(win98) and D(XP) on it. C is in FAT32 and D is NTFS. Win98 runs very well, and XP too, except I don't understand why it takes a long time to see my hardware under Explorer or My Computer on initial boot to XP. |

Is it always slow? or just the first time? Maybe it has something to do with the ntfs / fat32 combination. I dont know what else to say. There are much more knowledgeable people than me on this forum who should be able to help you out though.
I know I've run a dual boot win xp / 98 with both in fat 32 on a celeron 500 with no problem before. |
