Sun 27 Dec 2015 02:01:59 PM UTC, comment #5: have you looked at gptsync? create a gpt partition, and use gptsync to produce the order of mbr-entries you want, then use parttool to disable gpt so windows-xp-32bit actually boots...

After several unsuccessful tries with different combinations of command "parttool (partition) hidden+-", I've found a possibility to have 2 WinXP installations, both originally installed on sda1 aka "C:", alternatively running on one disk. I copied my old Windows XP partition from sda1 to sda2. After a fresh new Windows XP installation was installed to sda1.
