Yet they are different partitions (not both the same active first one) and
therefore have different partition GUIDs.
When you cloned the partition, the registry did not reflect the GUID change
and your apps may not find their home.
You can try to (save beforehand) find the "mounteddevices" keys on the
cloned XP, delete them and reboot. New fresh GUIDs will be assigned.
Hiding a partition is never complete. What do you see in disk management 
with the 2nd install booted?
