Hi Justyn, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You should have left the 32 bit Vista plugged in when installing the 64 bit one to have the dual boot automatically setup for you.

You might check with this tutorial to see if both of them are listed. If they are, you can adjust the Time Out wait time for you to select a OS at boot, then select which one you want to load by default if you do not choose one.

Boot Partition - Default


If not, then you can try running a Startup Repair for your 64 bit Vista with the 64 bit installation DVD. Both drives will need to be plugged in.

Startup Repair


If it still will not work, then you can reinstall the 64 bit Vista again with your primary 32 bit still plugged in to have it setup for you.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
