Default HOW to Install BOTH XP32 and Vista64 on new machine???

What is the BEST way to install both XP32 and Vista64 on a brand new rig that
I am building?

It seems that it is best to install XP32 first ... followed by Vista64 ...
but what are some suggestions and which pitfalls can I avoid?

Thanks A Bunch!!!!

You can create a dualboot for xp and vista, also to use vista 64bit, ensure
that the motherboard support first before jumping the wagon

Hi Vilheim,

Just try to burn a CD with 64bit drivers for everything before you
start and only have a maximum of 2GB in the machine whilst installing
Vista x64, you can add the rest when install complete, apart from that
should be painless, as you say XP first then Clean install to Separate
Partition / Drive for Vista, It should find the XP and set up dual boot
automatically

Above will give you info required.
Also, vista is the 1st windows OS where the older OS(in your case XP), does
not have to be installed 1st.
