Hi, I was just wondering..
I installed Win2k on my Computer..
Clean install...Fat32 (tried it on NTFS5 also)
After installing...booting would take 5~8 minutes, starting a program would take more than 5 seconds..(even device manager would take 4~7 seconds)..all my friends are telling me it's a hardware compatibility problem...
I have a AMD Athlon 750, 256MB of Ram, Geforce DDR (Creative Labs), Sound Blaster Live! Platinum, 3Com Fast Etherlink Ethernet card and a DVD, CD-RW drive...
I took out the sound card to see if it was the problem....but it wasn't. Tried other Rams just in case it was defective...it wasn't the problem either...
I have a MSI 6167 Motherboard...
Does anyone have any idea why win2k is soo slow on my computer?

Do you have a SCSI interface along with the IDE one?
Did you try without the Network adapter ?
OP
I don't have a SCSI interface...with an IDE one...actually i had a Scsi Zip Drive but i took out the Scsi controller...
Network...meaning 3com's ethernet card?
could that be a problem?
I thought 3Com's ethernet card would be the last thing to have a hardware compatibility with any Microsoft's OS
I haven't tried that one out...
