Make sure to install to a different volume, preferably one that's currently empty. As a precaution you should still backup data prior to starting. If setup does not create the dual boot (and the boot files will still be on the current system drive), then the additional entry can be added via bcdedit afterwards. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "prasaddevdhar" <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:c1ecd40dd0377054ef481862b7235f81[ at ]nntp-gateway.com...

You also will probably have activation problems. Just because you have both disks doesn't mean you are legally allowed to install both at the same time.

Re: Dual Booting with Vista Home Premium 32 Bit and Vista Ultimate yarand 12/11/2008 1:15:01 PM I created 2 extra partitions - 1 for 64-vista and 1 for data when I try to boot from 64-bit vista installation disc it looks like it's going to overwrite the 32-bit version and the 2 new partitions - how do I prevent that? At what stage does it ask where you want to install 64-bit?

Re: Dual Booting with Vista Home Premium 32 Bit and Vista Ultimate "peter" <peter[ at ]nowhere.net> 12/11/2008 3:56:35 PM Don’t boot from the 64 bit disk....run the installation while you are in the 32bit Vista. This way the 64bit will detect the 32bit and create that dual boot you are looking for. peter -- If you find a posting or message from me offensive,inappropriate or disruptive,please ignore it.

Re: Dual Booting with Vista Home Premium 32 Bit and Vista Ultimate "John Barnes" <JBarnes[ at ]email.com> 12/15/2008 3:58:24 AM Follow the steps and it will ask you where you want to install Vista. You will not overwrite anything before that. At that point you would be advised to (select advanced) delete the partition you created for Vista, create a new partition and format it, then select it as the partition to install on. Follow instructions from then on. "yarand" <yarand[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5BB16DA1-E6A4-43F2-BC83-69FC572F5142[ at ]microsoft.com...
