Hello all,
I was hoping I would see that others are having the problem I'm having, and I really don't see it anywhere. I started out with a completely clean HD, formatted in fat32. I installed Win7 and updated it. The HD is 150GB and used a partition of 40GB for Win7. Everything worked, so then I installed the netbook version of Ubuntu that is located here,
http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
I followed the directions and did the updates after the install. The problem is that it took over 5 minutes for Ubuntu to boot up and get running. I reformatted the HD and did the same install thinking I must have screwed up somewhere, but had the same results as before. So what I did this time was just install Ubuntu by itself. The slow boot ups continued. After doing the updates and all, it now takes about 8 minutes to boot up!
My system is a Toshiba NB305 with 2GB of ram. The bios version is 1.50.
I'm really lost as to what is going on and what to do now. Any help in this matter is GREATLY appreciated.
