from a german linux-list (and memory): Seems XP tries to recognize the linux partition(s) and that may be the reason for the slowdown. Look under -> Computer administration -> volume administration: For your linux partition(s) it should show "without error (unknown partition)" or something similiar. Thats my translation from my german WinXP. hth hjb _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
