Hello everyone,
I am new here, and need some advise.
Recently I bought a old Medion PC MT5 1Ghz computer to play some retro games.
I installed a PCI SATA card in it so I can use a SATA harddisk.
This is working I partition the harddrive with fdisk, say it should use the maximum disk space, and I will have one partition 430gb and one 570gb.
But for some reason the second partition I have to format with Gparted to acces.
Also the D: disk is not accessible and give me and error that the partition table is wrong, any advice on this ?
the biggest problem I have, is that windows 98 and XP (I have dual boot) run so slow.
I also is in XP everything I do the cpu is at 99%.
In windows 98 its less but it still feels like it should run smoother.
Could it be because I have a SATA harddisk, should I go back to the IDE ?
Please let me know.
The PC hase 256MB ram, and a Geforce 4 4200 TI card.
