2 diff. versions of XP on same machine

[yaelede]

I'd like to know whether it is possible to install two different
language versions of xp on one machine PROPERLY.

Actually I did it, using Partition Magic, but the main problem is that
I can't hide partitiuons from each other. BootMagic doesn't seem to
like to boot 2 XPs..
If I turn BootMagic off, then I can choose between the 2 XPs upon
booting up using XP's built-in booting option, but then all partions
are unhided, which is not too safe...at least for me.
BootMagic has a very useful "Advanced partition hiding"

I would appreciate any advice.

Hi.
I used to use System Commander, or Partition Magic but
had all sorts of problems when trying to use them with
XP. Now the only thing I use them for is to partition the
HDD drive before installing operating systems and I use
the Windows boot loader. At first it was a little tough
to get used to, because it shows 'Win XP' & 'Win XP' on
the boot menu, but it's easy to get used to I think. I
know with those types of products they hide the other OSs
and always show the OS you booted into as 'C:', but I got
over that... Simply gave each HDD a unique name. I used
to wory but now I know XPE is the English version on C: &
XPJ is the Japanese version on D:. One advantage - when
using 3rd party software, if you lose the os that has the
program installed in it's difficult, if not impossible to
boot into either OS. With the Windows default boot
loader, even if you have to run a repair install (which I
have) on the C: drive, after the repair, all OSs boot
properly....
