Just a wild shot, I have used laptops for a long time and I found the power management sometimes it gets in the way? I would start by checking that first, I have seen cases where you have to remove and re-install it in order to get things back to norm.

I have a dual boot Dell 8100 laptop that I use at home and at work. When I boot into SuSE 8.0 then go back to Win2K, after logon and windows starts loading programs, it all of a sudden locks up and the only way to get out of it is the power switch. After this, windows does a check disk, then boots and loads OK and can reboot back into windows without going to SuSE and it will be OK. Have done a disk check and defrag, file system is fat32, and used Norten system tools to cleanup the registry. Still same problem. Anyone have any idea on this problem?

Linux experts, correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it bad to use Windoze disk tools on a dual boot machine? Especially Windoze disk tools as it tends to corrupt or destroy the MBR or Linux partition? I guess if they are on seperate drives there is no harm, but if both OS's are contained on the same hard drive, isn't there danger there?
