    Slow Boot up on W2K

    After installing Linux Debian Testing.
    W2K wants to check each partition on boot up and says that they do not look like a windows partition or something like that. Seems to run OK once it gets done with all of the checking but takes forever.
    Linux comes up OK.
    Processor is an AMD 2GHz
    HD is 100GB
    Partitions are marked 83 but it wants to check them anyway.
    Thanks
    Bill K

    just go to Start->Run and enter diskmgmt
    find out if there are any partitions which are labeled.
    If you were using a NTFS or FAT partition which was assigned a drive letter
    and later removed it to install linux, then this problem occurs.
