Partitioning Software

ok, this may not be possible. I'm not familiar with partitioning software, have only used fdisk before. I will have 2 160gb disks set up in raid0. I want to create 2 partitions, one with xp pro (personal) and the other with win2000 (work), totally independent and hidden from each other. I will allocate 50gb to win2000 and…

I will have 2 160gb disks set up in raid0. I want to create 2 partitions, one with xp pro (personal) and the other with win2000 (work), totally independent and hidden from each other. I will allocate 50gb to win2000 and the rest to xp. So when I start the machine the boot manager will give the option of selecting XP Pro or win2000. If I select win2000 I will just see a 50gb c:\drive and nothing else. If I select xp I will see a 200+gb c:\ drive and nothing else.

Is this possible using Partition Magic? Or can you recommend better software?

Thanks.

You won't be able to hide Windows compatable partitions from each other. The only partitions Windows won't be able to see are incompatable ones (ReiserFS, ext x, etc)...
