georgeanton Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Is known, everywhere I go i read that if i want XP64 and XP32 in dual boot I have to install 32bit first and 64bit after. Is true, this works, I did try in the past.My problem is that I installed XP64 and now i woke up that i need XP32bit for Avid Xpress Pro that won't install on 64bit.How can I install safely XP32 now to have dual boot without loosing anything from my already installed 64bit?Anybody can give me a guide on this?

jbm Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) after you install 32bit XP replace the NTDETECT.COM on your HD with theone from you XP64 CD. Edited April 14, 2006 by jbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralIx Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I don't know how it works (I myself haven't tried it yet) but I've heard of a bootmanager which says it can manage lots of os's at the same time without having problems (linux and windows etc shouldn't give any problems with it it says). The program is called OSL2000. I hope that helps.Greets,Il Patino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent Devil Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 not only NTDETECT.COM but also the ntldr is to be replaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 well when i did it, it rebooted giving errors about ntdetect and ntldr, so i tried copying them off of my x64 disk and it worked fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
