I've heard those horror stories as well. However I have nevertheless booted up my 600X with two almost identical XP drives installed (one in the main HDD slot and the other in a secondary adapter) without running into this problem. I used F12 to swap back and forth from booting from one to booting from the other. In my case, the drives were identical in size as well as configuration: one was just an clone from a couple weeks earlier. But apparently there are risks involved in doing this, and I would not do it with someone else's machine or without having another backup of the drive handy in case of disaster.
