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. > PS: OT: What will be in the future, is it possible to use live medias > with UEFI?
