Vista 64 upgrade

Installed my 32 bit Home Premium Upgrade version on P.C without any trouble and decided to send of for the 64 bit disc. It arrived this week and when I tried to start to upgrade in Windows it gives a error message and tells me to boot from it.
But when I try booting from DVD the upgrade is grayed out and it will only let me fresh install :mad:

I noticed that the 32 bit disc says upgrade on it and the 64 disc I just got doesn't but surely I should be able to to ugrade without a fresh install!

Slightly off topic do you have the link to upgrade to 64bit, I have got Vista 32bit
home premium upgrade also I would like to try 64bit.

Can you try installing in safe mode.
