Where is XP? If you really mean HPFS (OS/2?) then XP will see HPFS as drive C, I guess. Another point is: how did you create you partitions. I can't say why, but I've experienced that Winblow/DOS tools seem to "name " partitions (C,D,E) and Winblow keeps seeing them as C,D,E even if you reformat them from Linux.
