If you are asking, how will XP do with a dual XP boot, then the answer is fine. I have been installing duplicate OS installs since NT4. I put the system files on C and XP1 and XP2 on D and E. Windows handles the dual boot just fine. It is a very useful setup for a number of reasons. And there is no better way to troubleshoot.

The basis of this is that I have an Audiophile 2496 sound card and the
driver does not really support MCE.  Of course the basic way to go
about this would be to wipe the C drive clean and just install XP
(non-MCE).  But the question is, how well does XP do with more than
one copy of itself installed?  If, for example, I were to install XP
(non-MCE) on this MCE system, first, would it set up a boot menu and
2nd, would it find my apps and use them?

Just speculating & it would save a lot of time reinstalling stuff.....

Thanks....Steve
