I want to set up a dedicated swap partition on HD-1. WinXP on HD-0 should not see it so that the drive letters of the volumes will not be changed.

How should I go about this? Not including the swap partition in the WinXP boot item will most probably lead to its not being used? So, should I include it in the WinXP boot item but hide it? Would that make any difference?

You can do it either way - if you want it for XP, you can adjust the drive
letters via computer management / disk management in XP.

Excuse me if I persistently ask for the adequacy of the second way, the BING/BIBM way, which I would prefer:

1) Is it correct that I have to include a dedicated HD-1 swap partition in the boot item for my HD-0 WinXP in order for it to be used by WinXP?

2) Would it still be used by WinXP if I hide it in the BING/BIBM Boot Item Details?

yes, it would need to be in the MBR for Windows to be able to use it.

If you've made it visible in the past, then hiding it has no effect.
However, I believe it will still require some drive letter to use it in
windows (if it becomes a drive letter you don't want, just change it in
computer management - you can make it something like S: )
