multiple-xp's setup problem

[Hildegard]

This happend so far:
bought a new PC with Windows XP Media Center Edition.
Installed Partition Magic 8.1
Copied the XP partition (lets call it PROD) to create a 'test'
partition (lets call it TEST)
Created Fat partition for BootMagic
Created Extented Partition for logical partitions
Installed some application programs on PROD
Installed some application programs on TEST
Now, after installing another program on TEST, the connection
to the internet didn't work anymore. So I booted PROD.
Surprise: also no connection to the internet !
Checked the device manager and found identical conflicts for the network
interface on *both* partitions !
Removed the last installed program on TEST.
Internet works on TEST again and on PROD.
What might be the reason for this behaviour ?
