The least expensive and least troublesome way is with 3rd party boot
manager, as mentioned by Ron. I use System Commander (not cheap) myself.
If the hard drive is ide, and you have a spare 5.25" bay, consider a tray to
swap out for each example of XP on each hard drive. (Expensive). This
would also meet the MS requirement for only one installation of XP on the
PC. At least by my perspective anyway. For corporate legal advice
regarding the EULA for XP, check with a lawyer qualified in corporate law.

I recently re-installed Windows XP home on an older pc. I created three
partitions, and installed XP on each one, and I am asked at start up to
choose which one I want to use, "C", "D", or "E".
I had to install/configure my home network, sharing, printers, USB hubes,
etc, on each partition as I had expected.
I installed some Anti-Spyware one "D". I then re-booted to "E" and
proceeded to install the same software there, but the software reported
that
it was already installed on "D".
I want to set this pc up as though it were three different pc's. Is that
possible? I don't want to just hide the drives from each other (Tweak
UI).
For instance, I do not want "D" to be able to detect what is installed on
"C", and I defintely don't want one drive to be able to "contaminate" any
of
the other drives.
Is Acronis or something similar the only way to do this?
