[H-GEN] dual booting

I have an interesting problem that I wondered if anyone else had come 
across. I recently installed woody (debian 3.0) on my win2k computer. 
Everything went quite smoothly, and the installer even offered to set up 
lilo for me to dual boot which I thought was a nice touch. WELL, I booted 
into windohs, and suddenly it's saying "found new hardware" and wanting to 
install something it called a "generic volume". Did I do something wrong? 
I've never had a windohs installation that could see my linux partition 
without help before. (I've used explore2fs to copy stuff off a linux 
partition onto a windohs partition whilst in windohs)

This wouldn't normally bother me, but it seems to slow the system to a 
crawl (and by that I mean more of a crawl than usual) whenever I open 
explorer windows or try to browse for a file/directory. I've had win2k and 
debian installed on the same machine a the same time before and this has 
never happened.

Any comments/suggetsions, no matter how caustic/sarcastic would be appreciated.

Sandra.
