I have both XP and vista 32bit in dual boot configuration. Each are installed on their own partition.

I want to install Visa 64 where Vista 32 resides. Which is the best way of doing this? Install over the top or format the Vista partition first?

If I format, what about the boot loader? Wouldn't it still think that Vista is installed.

thanks
 
I think that you would have to change the boot loader as it would think that Vista is installed...

Going to have a gander now...

Vista does not use the Boot.ini any more, W3K, XP, W2k uses the boot.ini.
To edit Vista you need to use bcedit that Vista has
Example
This changes the boot menu for Vista default text for any legacy OS to this
bcdedit /set {ntldr} Description "Place the name here"
To change the default text on Vista Boot Menu
bcdedit /set {current} Description "Place the name here"
There are some more option to use with bcedit
In Vista open Cmd promt and type in
bcedit /?
 
All done..

I've loaded this onto my workshop PC.. and according to Nvidia, there is no Vista 64driver support for the nForce3 chipset??? It's classed as a legacy chipset now.

I find this hard to believe since the nForce3 is for AMD64 processors. I could understand this for the likes of the nForce2 but not nForce3.

As a result, no sound..
