no it won't, if you have a dual setup without a bootmanager. I use pm to set my dual boot, just so that each windows partition stay at c. vista has a bootmanager. if you do 2 xp's in this setup, the second one can be d,e ,f etc.

I would use partition magic to do my dual boot as it will hide the unused xp drive, then I would use computer management to fix my other drive. that's my set up on a few computers. pq boot for windows will let you boot to whatever os that you want

my setup. notice that xp 64 bit is hidden
