If you aere going to dual boot the VPC, you need to modify the boot.ini file
of XP Pro, not the boot.ini file for XPe.
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Pro"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Embedded"
You also need to change the Configuration settings to reflect the partition
and ARC path for the image. Here is an article that discuses further:

There is another VPC solution in the book Windows XP Embedded Supplemental
Toolkit
