I have exactly the same issue which prevents my video
camera imports working (dropped frames) because of all the
garbage that so may application writers seem to feel the
need to insert in my systray.

So I want a partition with a bare XP for video editing and
DVD writing and another with a full install plus all my
apps etc.

I tried doing this with Bootmagic, but the two installs
try and share registry information, and succeed in
screwing each other up. This appears to be notoriously
easy to do with lowerfilter and upperfilters apparently
very sensitive between different dvd writers.

So as well as putting XP in two separate partitions, how
do I stop them from sharing registry information.

I can not for the life of me understand why they do so, I
guess it is MS trying to be clever and yet again making
complications out of simplicity.

It's not hard for me to understand. Fascinating idea!
Wish I could help. But I'm very interested in the
possibilities. Currently I dual boot WIN98SE/WINXP.

No,
You may not install Windows XP twice on the same system without purchasing
another license for the OS.
The End User License Agreement (EULA) is quite clear about this.

GRANT OF LICENSE. Microsoft grants you the following
rights provided that you comply with all terms and
conditions of this EULA:
1.1 Installation and use. You may install, use, access,
display and run one copy of the Software on a single computer,
such as a workstation, terminal or other device ("Workstation
Computer").

The key here is "You may install ...... one copy of the Software on a single
computer ......"
So if you required a multi boot configuration then you are required to
purchase additional licenses.

This is still a violation of the licensing terms.

Yes, multibooting was (and still is) a rather simple concept and existed
long before Microsoft invented their own convoluted, incompatible
method, first released with NT.

Your experience with BootMagic is very common, and caused by XP's method
of "remembering" drive letters. BM will work, but PQ leaves out some
key details in their instructions. If you haven't already given up on
BM and want to try again, post back for more details.

Although most would agree with you, the EULA stinks, it also states you did
not buy the software.
It states:

"You may install, use, access, display and run one copy of the Product on a
single computer, such as a workstation, terminal or other device
("Workstation Computer")."

It never says you own the software.. You have bought the right to *use* the
software, and Microsoft also states that they can "... cancel this EULA if
you do not abide by the terms and conditions of this EULA, in which case you
must destroy all copies of the Product and all of its component parts."

SO your argument is made invalid by the fact you installed it and agreed to
the EULA in the first place. heh

Yes the EULA stinks.. Makes you think perhaps reading it before installing
it might have been the right thing to do, eh> *grin*
