"do not let new-XP see the old-XP partition the first time it boots.
If new-XP sees old-XP, it won't reuse the original drive letter when it
assigns a drive letter to itself. (Once XP-2 has booted and reallocated new
drive letters, the old-XP partition can be reintroduced into the system, if
desired.) "
