I didn't quite understand, what do you want to achieve. I had winXP and CentOS 5.8 installed simultaneously on my laptop, winXP was dual-use: either on a bare metal or as a guest in VMWare under running CentOS. Had to create two hardware configurations on WinXP and play with disk controllers. Now I have CentOS 6.3 (recently installed) and going to achieve the same thing under KVM. Shouldn't be different.
