    I added a second hard drive and installed Windows XP on it.
    I have been afraid of sharing the hard drive wih the 2 since my earlier boot
    experience. I then added 40GB of fat32 onto hda Reiser in order to share
    Windows files between the 2. Boot loader and fstab needed editing and all
    works fine. 2 hard drives is a great solution for me after my dual boot
    fiasco (eg you attempts to update to c:windows and the dual boot problems)
    The interesting thing for me was that Linux boots much much faster now on this
    install. I am in KDE in 30 seconds or so. I did a default install and no
    updates on my system (athlon XP, Nvidia). system does not hang on
    coldplugging or USB, PCI scanning takes 3 seconds. I am reluctant to do the
    updates for this reason and may compile my own kernel. On earlier installs I
    did the updates first and booting was always slow.
    Any idea what's going on? Could this be NVidia installed earlier or perhaps
    the Athlon kernel update?

    Thanks
