Windows 64

[Bill Buchanan]

They’re working on a driver for XP64, which should be out in the not too distant future. And when it arrives what wonderful moment that should be for those of us working in long-form.

Do you know if you can upgrade windows to 64 bit or do you have to do a clean install from scratch.

Shane:

Though I have not yet installed XP64, it is an entirely different OS, not an upgrade of XP32. So, you’ll have to wipe the drive/partition and do a clean install.

WinXP 32bit on Partition (A) and WinXP 64bit on Partition (B)

Video array as another drive letter will be able to be seen from either OS when booted.

Install 32bit versions first – sort out partitions – install x64 to new partition.
boot.ini file will now have mutiple entries.

If you have trouble with the install email pcsupport@blackmagic-design.com

Is it possible and does it even make sense to intall XP64 in a system that still has a 32-bit MB and Xeon CPUs?

Won’t work. Windows XP 64 only rums on 64-bit systems.

[Bill Buchanan]

Thank Juan. I thought that was probably the case.
