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: [Quoted Text] > 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
