xp x86 vista x64 install dual boot

XP x86 and vista x64 install/dual boot

I have XP 32bit version currently installed. I would like to use the 64-bit version of Vista with my athlon64. Seeing as how you cannot run 64bit applications from within windows, I don't have the option of starting the 64bit vista setup from within XP. If I boot to the vista cd, will I still be presented with dual boot options or will vista just take over and lose my option to boot to XP?

No you will still get your dual boot options, Vista will install its own bootloader, but you will have access to the XP x86 install. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta
