slowdown after grub install

[ed colmar]

Hello I have a windows ME system (config below) that significantly slowed down once grub was installed.  Is there anything I can do to resolve this? Windows comes up as DOS inside grub is this correct?

 

 

Athlon 700mHz 64 MB RAM

20 GIG IDE HD

WINDOWS ME

Mandrake 7.1

 

 

Steps I took:

 

1: installed windows

2: tested windows (works fine)

3 installed mandrake

4 tested windows (runs slow)

 

 

Thanks for any tips or suggestions
