I still need to use WinXP from time to time and find that for most things, (including iTunes and and iPhone over USB), VirtualBox has served me well. I have five partitions:
I suppose I could set up an NTFS data partition should I need it. In the VirtualBox partition I store my Windows XP virtual machine images and snapshots.
Of late, VirtualBox was acquired by Sun which in turn was acquired by Oracle. The rate of development and enhanced stability continues to improve.

never guessed windowz is THAT WAY STUPID it can't DELETE some random partition. Oh, the great LOL. I mean, it's not just great LOL. It's a LOL MONSTER.
What are you using windowz for? Games? Did you tested them on wine or virtualbox/kvm? Why use real install?
