I have a dual boot PC which has Windows 98 installed on C drive and Windows 2000 on drive D. When I boot to Windows 98, drive D is invisible (NTFS partition) and everything works fine. When I boot into Windows 2000, sometimes system freezes with no apparent reason - no blue screen, just everything is frozen. I also can see some hard disk activity right after the computer freezes, but after few seconds everything stops. The only way to get out is a hard reboot. I have tried to remove different programs from the start up menu - no results. Events log does not show anything neither.
I am running all latest SP's, MS Office XP (it was happening even before I have upgraded to a new office and SP3 of W2K). It seems it is not software related. Same setup runs sometimes for days without reboot or freezes, but sometimes it is freezes right after log-on completed. I also checked HD (scan disk, both - C and D) and defragmented both disk as well.
It is a Dell Dimension XPS T500 computer with 256 MB of RAM. C drive has FAT32 partition, drive D has NTFS partition.
Thanks in advance for your help.
