Nah, that's just the way Windows runs.  Some people say they never have 
trouble with Windows, some people have trouble all the time.  The sad 
thing is that you went to Windows so your hardware would work BETTER (be 
able to use hardware)--you'd think with all the specs and support 
Microsoft has been given, they could come up with a system that works. 
(But then again they can't even write programs that run properly on 
their own operating systems.)

I think it's mostly MS-DOS that needs to be on the first partition 
(maybe 95 too).
