I want to install a 64 bit vista on a drive that has 32 bit vista on it. How can I do it? How can I get rid of 32 bit version on hard drive?

Boot to the Vista 64 DVD - Select Install and point at the drive with your existing installation. OK the warnings... etc etc etc..

Your original install and data will be put into a folder called WINDOWS_OLD. YOu will be able to access/retrieve your data, but you will have to reinstall your apps.
