Have 64bit Vista RC2 want to install 32 bit too

[Guest]

I have only Vista 64 Bit Rc2 build version 5744 but I am having problems
playing games. I want to install 32 bit RC1 and RC2 but I don't want to loose
my stuff on 64 bit. Can I install 32 bit without touching 64 bit? I want to
be able to use both. Thank you

Hi,

Have you tried booting from the 32-bit DVD and selecting a different volume
as the installation target? If that doesn't work, you can use a boot manager
to hide the existing installation during setup. There are several that can
do this.

I think you are going to have to make a choice eventually unless you want to
buy 2 Vista licenses.

For now, in addition to what Rick suggested, you can also run 32-bit Vista
as a client under Virtual PC 2007 if Vista x64 is the host.

I have *no* idea if that will solve your gaming problems. Colin? :-}
