Problems of installation of two xp systems (URGENT)

Hi all,
I have Windows XP Home installed on the drive C of my 80GB harddisk of
my laptop, and drive D is my data drive. I would like to install
another windows XP Pro (English version) and make my laptop
dualbootable. First, I installed PartitionMagic 7.0 on C, and made a
new partition of about 17GB for XP Pro. Because there is no flopy
drive on my laptop, I didn't creat PartitionMagic rescue disks. After
partly installation of XP Pro, I had to reboot my laptop, but due to a
problem of PM7.0, the laptop was not bootable. I changed the bios of
my laptop, and let the laptop boot from cd-rom first. I reinstalled XP
Pro on the new partition successfully. However, I couldn't get access
to the XP Home system anymore. I used XP Pro cd Recovery Console, and
I could see that there are two windows XP folders on my harddisk, one
is under C:\windows, this should be the XP Pro; and the other is under
G:\windows, this should be the XP Home. However when I chose G:
\windows, I was asked to input administrator's password. But I really
don't have any password for my XP Home system.
Any idea on how to make my laptop dualbootable with two XP systems? I
plan to install bootmagic, is this helpful? and another problem with
bootmagic is that only rescue diskkets can be created, but I didn't
have flopy drive, is there a way to create a rescue cd?
Thanks a lot!
