You have the right idea for the dual boot system and partitions (for most
people IMHO)

What exactly does the course require that is not in XP home? The advice you
already had is the best if you can possibly afford it. If the course does
need something that is not in XP Home then how will you use that knowledge
with only XP Home to play with.

Not trying to "Sell" anything, just wondering if the extra trouble you will
have to go to will prove useless in the longer term :)
