Can I multiboot XP Home & XP x64 Edition?

Guest

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a multiboot for Windows XP Home and Windows XP x64
Edition on two separate drives (one 80 Gig for XP Home, and a 250 Gig serial
ATA for x64). I've installed XP Home, and then when I tried installing x64
on the other drive (after formatting a new partition on that drive), I get
the OS choice menu but X64 won't boot - message says there is a hard drive
configuration problem.

Am I installing these in the wrong order? Will I still get the OS choice
menu if I install x64 first and then XP home?
