I have ram 256MB system. XP was installed on my master hard. I added a

connected with a ide cable.
New kubuntu system is way tooooo slow, (XP isn't that slow). Funny
thing is that the kubuntu on hard is slower than when I boot with live
cd.
After login, a dialog box named examing file progress is shown.
Especially, the window on alt-f2, the edit area isn't active. It takes
minutes for the edit area to become active.
I set the locale in Korean when installing. I tried kdepersonalizer to
kill all the special kde effects. It still is slow. I've also tried
with another hard disk, same result.
What can be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
First suggestion: check if the DMA is enabled for that hard-disk:
sudo hdparm /dev/hdX
and what is the transfer rate (should be some tens of MBytes/sec):
sudo hdparm -t /dev/hdX
Where hdX should be replaced by one of:
hda - if the disk is set as master device on the first IDE connector
hdb - if slave on the first IDE connector
hdc - if master on the second IDE
hdd - if slave on the second IDE
If you have a SATA disk, replace hdX by sdX.
Second suggestion: take a look in the logs (run "dmesg | less"), maybe
you find something.
