    I haven't read the item in your link, but I would strongly recommend, if you have multiple harddrives, to install each OS on separate drives...performed on one drive while any others are disconnected. The only "inconvenience" of this is that instead of using Windows boot menu, you will select the harddrive to boot, either by using the F8 BBS Popup, or by the boot priority in the BIOS.
