Vista 32bit and 64bit

Postby enm » Sun Jan 11, 2009 1:35 am

Is it possible to install Both versions of Vista 32bit AND 64bit on the same harddrive in seperate partions without having to manually edit the boot load thing. In otherwords....will you have the option of selecting both 32 or 64 bit.

i think so... i remember that some years ago, i had 2 installations of winXP on 2 different hard drives, and the computer would ask me which i wanted to load when booting up... didn't have to set the boot order to load one or the other

and i don't think i had to do anything too complicated in the CMOS menu either...

Yes you can do that and yes it is quite simple.

When installing vista (either first doesn't matter) have 2 partitions and install it on one. once finished just put your other CD in and install that on the other partition. But with vista xp its different, only change is you have to do XP first :P.

Like HarvesteR said you just select which OS you want to load on start up.
