skavenger Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Yes, it is!dual-boot x64 and a x 86 os on a single hdd is simply possible - but you must use two different partitions!ska Edited January 5, 2008 by skavenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_block Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 obviously it was on two partitions, i didnt think i needed to say all that . lol have any of you been able to successfully execute this process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skavenger Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I don't know, what the Problem is.Just install XP 32 on first partition.Boot from it, insert your XP 64 CD - click Install - choose new install - select "copy all files from cd to harddisc" - wait - reboot - setup of xp 64 starts within DOS, select second partition - install.After installation you have two entries in yout boot.ini and while booting you can select, what OS you want to start.OK?

D_block Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 yea i will try i again, but i have something loading curently. i want to do it with a 32 bit vista and x64 xp pro because i cant get all my hardware drives with the x64 OS.my hdd was parttioned in 4 before , win 2000 , win xp , win vista and the remaining partition ( about 28 gigs ) to save on my files on , but as soon as im finished here ill retry it again .

D_block Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 i got through, i guess its possible after all. i did the windows xp x64 first then the vista ultimate x86 after no problems eccept for the once that xp crashed during GUI, i think m hardware may have bugs. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
