| | XP x86 and vista x64 install/dual boot I have XP 32bit version currently installed. I would like to use the 64-bit version of Vista with my athlon64. Seeing as how you cannot run 64bit applications from within windows, I don't have the option of starting the 64bit vista setup from within XP. If I boot to the vista cd, will I still be presented with dual boot options or will vista just take over and lose my option to boot to XP? |

| | Re: XP x86 and vista x64 install/dual boot No you will still get your dual boot options, Vista will install its own bootloader, but you will have access to the XP x86 install. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Chris DZ" <Chris DZ@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:638E9F61-31AE-474C-BA55-3C80BE0256DF@microsoft.com... >I have XP 32bit version currently installed.
