.NET Forum / Languages / Managed C++ / August 2006Dual Boot x64 Trial
I am trying to dual boot Windows XP x64 on my computer. I recently upgraded my MB and Processor to 64 bit. I have a WD Raptor Drive (72G 10,00 RPM SATA) that I have partitioned into 2 35Gb (approx) partitions. I loaded XP home on one and it ran fine. Then I loaded x64 on the other and I couldn't get XP home to boot even though I saw the files on my D partition. I reloaded XP Home on the D partition and FINALLY got the dual boot option (where it prompts for which OS to load) and when I selected x64 it wouldn't boot. It said the "ntoskernal" was corrupt. That is clearly over my head. Help! >I am trying to dual boot Windows XP x64 on my computer. I recently upgraded > my MB and Processor to 64 bit.

That actually helped. It suggested loading 32 bit first (which I did) but mentioned that they did a repair install instead. I plugged the x64 disk back in, did a repair install, and have both running well. > >I am trying to dual boot Windows XP x64 on my computer. I recently upgraded > > my MB and Processor to 64 bit.
