<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, All!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2 Questions....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Any reasons why it would take 7 hours to
format a Windows 300 MB partition</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> and then
re-partitioning and formating of Linux "/" and "Swap" ~ 800
MB took 15 hours??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> This
HD works but very slowly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It kept
crashing on install of Linux 5.2 during the part/format
process.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> Sometimes this took so
long (with no discernable feedback) that I had to stop it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Same HD now with several
partitions: </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>DID NOT BOOT to Linux 6.2 after install.
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>How do I get now get Linux to boot? In fact
I am trying to acheive a mult-boot choice Win or Linux 6.2. (During
installation I did ask for Linux to set up the master boot record for booting
Linux.)</FONT></DIV>
