1. U need to have all those versions of xp in one cd/dvd. Then use a multi-boot cd creator to create a menu to choose the xp version to install.

2. Go to control panel->folder options->View
Check the "hide os protected files", and choose "Do not show hidden files". Also, check the Hidden attribute in the file's property page.
