Yes, you can install 32bit xp on it. That is what I have on all my Amd64 X2 machaines.

thanks for the replies

 

can anyone tell me how to install win xp 32 bit.

actually i have SATA1 on my system ...so when this vendor of mine installed xp 64 on my system he did something by inserting a floopy drive and copying the drivers on it

 

i have a winxp sp 2 bootable CD ..in my older machine i just used to run the CD and it used to install on its own,,,,can i use the same procedure while installing in my new machine or will it be a different method

 

Thanks

it should install the same way. the only reason you would need the driver disk, is if windows doesn't find your SATA drive when it tries to install. Then you would press F- watch the bottom of the screen when windows is installing. you can press the appropriate f- key and then you read the driver disk for your SATA drive. Then all should be good to go.

ok thanks

 

One more question....will my 32 bit overwrite this 64 bit installation.

If not then how should i go about uninstalling it or formatting my c drive, because i don't want two operating systems simultaneously.

 

thanks
