Yeah, the partition table is the standard sort, so XP knows a partition is there, but the partition type number is something it doesn't understand. When I was fighting with XP/Intel motherboard and BIOS problems last year with 13 computers for a control system, I made sure I had a fresh install of XP each time I reloaded (which were many) by loading Linux and then re-loading XP. Loading Linux was quick and fun. Loading XP was slow and painful.
