That's not a total shock. Doing a backlevel Win
install is a treacherous business. At the very least,
I think you'd have to completely hide the presence of
the later Win, and I'm not sure if or how that might
be done. And each Win install must be altering the
MBR in some way.

That doesn't sound like much of an endorsement for
their product.

Wouldn't that take XP back to 40G in size ?
