Sure, PAE is useful only for systems with more than 3 (or 4?) GB of RAM, but 
since Windows XP SP2 (?) it is enabled by default, whatever amount of RAM 
you have.

Now I remember that /nopae also requires to disable DEP with the switch 
/noexecute=alwaysoff otherwise it is still enabled.

Also (not sure if it is important) be sure to insert a space before /NoPAE 
in your boot.ini.

My complete boot.ini line is:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP 
Professionnel" /fastdetect /noexecute=alwaysoff /nopae

To check if PAE is actually on or off, look at the system properties 
(Win+Pause), on the General tab (the default one). Look at the bottom, after 
the line with frequency and amount of RAM. If "Physical Address Extension" 
is written, then PAE is on. If there is no such text, PAE is off.

So please change your boot.ini to /noexecute=alwaysoff /nopae then check it 
is actually disabled and see if coLinux works better.
