I have partitioned my hard disk so that I have the option of booting into my original Windows 2000 Pro system or my new Windows XP Home Edition (set as default).
The Windows 2000 system is located on drive c: (has about 15 GB of free space) and Windows XP on drive d: (has over 100 GB of free space)
Whereas I have no problems at all when booting into Windows XP, when I opt to boot into Windows 2000 I get a message, in a DOS type box, saying that the drive needs to be checked for errors.
When I confirm that this is ok, as recommended, it starts a process which takes at least 20 minutes during which thousands of lines of text scroll through the 'DOS' box.
When the process eventually finishes it boots into Windows 2000 with no problems.
Could it possibly be something to do with files needing to be re-indexed for each system?
I would be grateful if anyone is able to please enlighten me as to why this process is necessary and, if it is not, are there any changes I can make to prevent this happening.
