What do you mean by modified? You could easily turn down all the appearance settings before you game, as well as close any programs that you wouldn't need.

Probably an easier solution, and probably better than having 2 operating systems for different tasks, as you would have to restart to get from one, to another.

What i mean is i want to have a windows xp (modified by me for gaming), a windows xp pro for programs, softwares, etc........ and i what to have linux for other needs All on a 320gb harddrive.

the windows xp is modified for gaming because i have tweaked it to the point that it has only 9 processes running and i remove MANY unwanted microsoft crap.

and i want to use the windows xp pro for programs and software because i dont want alot of stuff bogging down my gaming windows xp

Partitions. You'll need four of them at least (two NTFS, one Ext3 and one Linux Swap partition).

Put your first XP installation on partition one, your second XP installation on partition 2, and then your Linux installation on partition 3. GRUB will then take care of setting up the boot menu so that you can access all three. Depending on the programs you use, though, you could always attempt to simplify it and just use your modified XP installation and a Linux installation and cut out the regular XP Pro. What programs are they?
