Two independent WinXPs on one HD

I would like to dual boot an XP system so that the HD is partitioned in two, and each partition is a completely independent WinXP install. Is it possible so that when the second partition is booted, it shows up as C: (in the old days, the drive letters were assigned to partitions in their physical order).
Or IDEALLY, when booted to a particular partition, only that partition is assigned a drive letter, effectively hiding the other partition (floppy and CD would get letters of course). Is there a boot manager that will do such a thing?
-with thanks,
Mike
 
Physical drives are still assigned a letter via device manager.

You can setup the registry to hide specific drives based on user.


I don't know of any group policy that will allow you to control this, but someone else may know of it here.
