Added new OS installation just for CUDA

So now my PC is multi-boot.
One XP partition is for normal use, has the old, good drivers, and cannot be used to develop CUDA. The other partition has XP with the new drivers, and can be used to develop CUDA. It's a waste of drive space, but when I originally built this machine, I reserved a partition big enough for an OS install. Sometimes pessimism is a good thing. If I had not already done this, adding a new partition would change my drive letters, and break tons of stuff.


I wish I could use a virtual PC instead of multi-boot, but I cannot install the required NVIDIA drivers on any virtual PC I know of.
