Now I've found a possibility to have 2 WinXP installations, both originally installed on "C:", alternatively running on one disk. As I still was unable to boot a Windows by Grub from a logical partition (only NTLDR can do that, but in my case resolves incompatible drive letter), I copied my old Windows XP partition from sda1 to sda2. A fresh new Windows XP installation was installed to sda1. It works for to boot the Windows installation on sda1, but it dosn't work for the one on sda2 (~ 10 seconds after WinXP boot screen I got a blue-screen).
Afterward, did you also appropriately modify boot.ini on sda1 to account for copying the old one to sda2? If not, maybe you should share the one you have on sda1 now. If so, what's probably wrong is the old one on sda2 needs its registry modified for incorrect partition references. Moving a Windows installation is very definitely not an easy task.
