Dual OS Installs

[colt1911]

Right now I'm running XP PRO on a WD 74gb hard drive and would like to put Vista Home Premium 64bit on aswell if this is possible. My xp is 32 bit and I still play a few games that Vista doesn't support even with the compactablity mode running. Please advise if possible thanks.

You should make new partition on your hard drive (for Vista at least 15 GB) and install Vista on it. Vista will automatically make boot manager and on every computer startup you will have option to choose which windows to run.

you may want to consider adding another HDD. having two OSs will mean alot of unusable space, plus, you'll need to duplicate some programs for use on either OS. and btw, you will probably want about 20gb for your vista partition if you plan to use it regularly.

edit: nevermind, i just noticed that you have a 10000rpm 74gb along with a 250gb...
