No the XP partition should be type 7.
Sorry, I guess I didn't express myself right. I just tried setting
/dev/sda3 as type 17 to see if messing with it would be trivial. What
I was asking was if it would work with my "live" Linux partitions
(/dev/sda[12]). I'll try it tomorrow, after backing up what I've
installed so far.
Thks again,
Andre
