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!!!! Vilhiem |

You can create a dualboot for xp and vista, also to use vista 64bit, ensure
that the motherboard support first before jumping the wagon "Vilhiem" wrote: 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? 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 -- barman58 Regards, *Nigel* the beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.,- frank herbert |

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. -- Mad Mike "Vilhiem" wrote: What is the BEST way to install both XP32 and Vista64 on a brand new rig that I am building?
