AJLynn Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 You could if you had 2 hard drives and could somehow get each OS to call its hard drive C. But, my question would be why go to the trouble? XP64 runs almost everything XP32 does, including everything important, and dual-booting is a giant pain in the ass.

pradipta Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks for the responses! Andrew : I wanted to have both since I heard some drivers/applications does not work well in 64 bit environment though it supports all 32 bit applications. I can use separate hard disks and other hardware issues. But, it should work smoothly and that is where I am little concerned. Dimitar : why do you think its not a good idea? you have seen any problems before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambros Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 one of my pcs has a dual boot with Vista 32 and Vista 64, each in different HD. When I power the pc on, I can choose which version to load, and everything works fine without a single problem. The reason I did this was to run a specific program that would not install in 64 OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
