I don't know, BUT you said "I recommend to keep XP, for emergency cases,
e.g. a broken Linux."
I'm saying that Linux rescue CD's are for rescuing a broken Linux.
Sure, if the OP needs XP for something that Linux doesn't provide then
that is an entirely different issue from which you said initially.
