Considering that it work fine under win98, very
fast, I don't think it is a hardware problem.
Could it possibly be a partition
issue.
I have
1.5Gb Fat 32
4GB Fat 32
15Mb /boot
1GB /
2.5gb Fat32
500MB /swap
3.5Gb /home
in that order on my drive. I didn't want to
put /boot and / in that place but it was the only place I could put the
partitions without getting an error message about the 1048 cylinder
thing.

I too have an Athlon, but with 256mb ram and a
27.3 gb hard drive. Actually, I run linux off my udma33 6.4 gb, but it
doesn't take long to access anything off either drive in Linux. It's
probably more a hardware conflict than a software. Which mobo are you
using? My k7m tends to have some support problems and conflicts with
udma.

Hi I have Mandrake 7.0 on an Athlon 500 with
128MB and a 13GB UDMA 66 Quantum Harddrive. My hard drive takes a long
time to access things in Linux is it possible that UDMA is not
enabled? How can I check this and enable it. Does the Kernal
that comes with MD7 support
this.
