Orthogonal Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 I'm trying to install Windows XP x64 and it is giving my problems. I already have a 32-bit XP installed and I want XP x64 as a dual boot option. I created a new partition and formatted it through the Windows Setup tool on the x64 disc. After installing the first set of files, the computer reboots and then just boots into the 32bit install. It never gives me the option to set up a boot loader or finish the install of x64. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Vassili Zaitsev Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Check the bios, there may be a option named like: Try other boot devices. Disable it, or put it NO And set first boot device: CDROM 2nd, 3rd...options: Disabled. (sorry if that's not what you mean, im not good in english) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthogonal Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 I don't know if that's the problem. I can get it to boot to the CD-ROM to begin installing the the OS. After it installs the first set of files, it reboots and then goes into 32bit windows without any other options. I'll try it and see what happens.
