Hey guys,

do you think it's possible to dualboot a vista 64 bits for crap games and other kind of work and a XP 32 bits for music production, on the same machine?

thanks for advice.

Yes. I'm dual booting 32-bit Vista and XP. Here's a thread I started that no one found interesting.

If you already have Vista installed, follow the article I link to. If you have XP installed, just install Vista on a seperate partition.

tx for the help

actually I will have nothing installed as it will be a new comp and I plan on formatting the new harddrives before I even start.

cheers ;)

If you're starting from scratch, you should install XP, then Vista. XP will corrupt Vista's bootloader if you do it the other way around.
