Possibility is an SATA issue: seem to remember a compatability issue at
times.

Top hit (or at least when I got it) might be an answer:

KM> Finally got ReactOS v0.4.4 to run!! tho had to install from a CD.
Must have been and IDE CD. <gg> Hope you weren;t doing something like
I've tried to do: install a 64-bit OS on a 32-bit system!!

Probably has nothing to do with anything but Ubuntu 16.04 (and maybe
14.x) have issues with dual-booting with Windows XP.

Good -- maybe the boot from the SERVICE partition flag? (Thinking the
Ubuntu issue again.)

The bugs are starting to seem vary much like the ones I experienced on
my laptop with XP/Ubuntu!

Wow!! I haven't timed my Virtual XP boot time on this Ubuntu desktop
system but it seems to be longer and wanted about 10x that amt of RAM to
work decently.

... How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.
