Yes, you just need to set the Operating System to "Windows XP" in the OS dropdown and Image Type is "Multi Partition Image-All Disks (Not-Resizable)" selection must required while creating a new image from taking a image of a server. I have been tested on Dell PowerEdge 1950 with 3 drives (SAS, SCSI, with RAID-0, RAID-1 and RAID-5, OS- Windows 2008 R2 of Standard and Enterprise versions. (Tested by Suresh. K, Toronto, ON)

I ran some tests with Windows 2008 R2 SP1 created on an Optiplex 755. After patching the image and installing the FOG client I sysprepped the machine and uploaded the image 3 different times to the FOG server with 3 different configurations, 2 of which I have verified work. The 3 configurations are as follows:

2k8R2 setup with no system partition, Windows 7 Host OS setup with multiple partition in FOG - verified working

2k8R2 setup with a 100MB system partition on install setup in FOG as Windows 7 host OS with a single partition (resizeable) - verified working

2k8R2 setup with a 100MB system partition on install, setup in FOG as Windows XP host OS with multiple partition - error cannot have partition outside disk (will test again w/o system partition)

2k8R2 setup w/no 100MB system partition on install, setup in FOG as Windows XP host OS w/multiple partition - verified working

These were all tested on a ESXi 5.0 server. To make these work I had to setup each VM to use an IDE drive, not SCSI. I noticed that when using SCSI, FOG could not find the hard drive.
