2 XPs and 1 Linux in one Disk

[harelose]

I want to install in one disk the following systems:

XP primary partition Spanish

XP primary partition English

Linux Kubuntu Logical partition

I can start XP primary partition Spanish and Linux Kubuntu Logical partition but I can´t start XP primary partition English. I use Ghost to clone this partition.

Thank you.

What are you using to start these installs? My guess is that you are trying to use boot.ini. That should work. However, you may want to try somthing like a boot manager, for example smart bootmanager. There are a bunch of other free ones. This should let you know if everything is ok with your partitions.

I have read the following:

The Windows NT system partition must reside entirely within the first 7.8Gb of a drive. If your NT boot partition is bigger than this and system files are moved beyond the first 7.8Gb (by disk defragmentation, for example), NT won't be able to boot.

In my case Both partitions have 20 GB so I suppose I can´t do anything. Should I use VMWare or VirtualPC or is there another solution?

Thank you.
