A quick look into your list and I can see you do not have avast! running right now (both services are not started). RPC is working but I’ll do a little more research about this…
About the other question, I think that using the actual HDD as slave will work perfectly for restoring (do not forget to change the jumpers and connect the cables correctly).
I think that Linux and XP in the same system is not a ‘solved’ trouble… A lot of sad users have this configuration.
