It looks like XOSL and win2k are counting partitions differently. Some of them may
be hidden, and the numbering is not necessarily in physical order. The first time
around it loads the drivers, but the second time it probably can't find its own partition.
Either use the way I suggested in my previous post, or, remove all the partitions,
including XOSL, and let win2k create partitions. You may install XOSL afterwards.
