Installing with ACPI on or off can cause issues as well if you switch
it afterwards since you will get a different kernel installed
when you install XP with it either off or on.
The only way to change kernels is to do a re-install from what I
understand.

completed does
cause a boot BSOD under Windows. There are ways to perform a switch
without
a reinstallation though.
