That would have done is installed windows into a new directory, but all of the important files that are not in that directory (ntldr, ntdetect.com,
config.sys, the entire docs and settings folder) would all be replaced, rendering the previous install useless. That's what I meant in my first response about only having one functional OS per partition.
That could explain it, since I didn't try accessing the older Windows installations when I had done that (because they were broken anyway)

Because my HDD is dirty and partition programs refuse to partition my HDD...
