Dual booting XP 32 Bit and Vista 64 bit - possible?

[udprod]

Hi.

Is it possible to have a dual boot setup, with Xp 32 bit and Vista 64 bit? If yes, is it possible to have Windows XP installed on the C drive and Vista on the D drive?

Thanks loads in advance.

Technically it's possible, but you'll probably give yourself a migraine trying to set it up. You will have to read up on how Vista handles startup with boot loader and boot manager. In general, all software for 32-bit OSes will work on Vista 64, where you run into issues usually is when you need device drivers for 64 bit OSes.
