I have a dual boot system, WindowsXP and RH7.3. Response time for XP is =
dramatically faster than for Linux, which is the opposite of what I =
would have expected. Has anyone else run into this?
Each OS has it's own disk, and both disks are the same model (Western =
Digital, 80GB, 7200 rpm, 8MB cache):
XP is on hda (primary master)
Linux is on hdb (primary slave)
I installed XP first, later I added the 2nd drive and Linux.
Any ideas? Or does XP usually respond faster than Linux?
Mike
