OK, it finally worked, after i changed XP partition type to 0x0. However, that isn't quite what's needed, cause it needs to be restorable w/ something like the current &= ~0x10. So i'll try to analyze all the IDs, and find something like 0x10, different from 0x0, that would make the hide/unhide actions work to 2K and XP.
