Windows 7 on Linux gets slow when hd is on second drive

Hello,

I wanted to run a Windows 7 virtualized machine on Linux (Fedora 16), the parallels harddisk file is on the second drive of my real computer:

sda: where parallels is installed on.
sdb: parallels machines.

On windows host, the virtualized windows 7 works fine, but on linux host the machine freezes and works very very slow, I can't boot windows or even I can't install the operating system.

Excuseme for my bad english, and thank you for your support.

José Manuel.

can you provide a bit more detail about your configuration ?

 

Configuration

Hello Pierre,
unfortunatelly I don't speak french. I'm a Spanish. First of all thank you for your support.

My machine config is:

CPU: i7 2600k
VGA: Zotac GTX470 1280GDDR5
16GB of ram
SDA: 40GB SSD
SDB: 120GB SSD

Thank you again for your support

 

hmm, i don't know what to say, the only time i got the same behaviors was because my coleague as fillup the whole hard drive, as you got only 120gb it it possible that you got the same issue.

make sure of the hard drive usage by toing
