Dual Boot x64 Trial

I am trying to dual boot Windows XP x64 on my computer. I recently upgraded
my MB and Processor to 64 bit. I have a WD Raptor Drive (72G 10,00 RPM SATA)
that I have partitioned into 2 35Gb (approx) partitions.

I loaded XP home on one and it ran fine. Then I loaded x64 on the other and
I couldn't get XP home to boot even though I saw the files on my D partition.
I reloaded XP Home on the D partition and FINALLY got the dual boot option
(where it prompts for which OS to load) and when I selected x64 it wouldn't
boot. It said the "ntoskernal " was corrupt. That is clearly over my head.
Help!

I would seriously suggest that you invest in a 3rd party boot manager
(e.g. BootIt NG). The NT (and Vista) bootlaoders are a can of worms, IMO.

Thank you. That actually helped. It suggested loading 32 bit first (which I
did) but mentioned that they did a repair install instead. I plugged the x64
disk back in, did a repair install, and have both running well.

Hi I have a big j2ee appliction that was so forth run on a single cpu machine. I have tested it on a dual cpu machine, its running much slower (about X3 times slower). I know that synchronize code fragments (indirect ones as well, such as the fact that StringBuffer is synchronized) can make code run slower

I had a preloaded XP 32 on SATA HDD from DELL. I added a new SATA HDD to the system to install XP 64. The PC has no floppy drive and when running the OEM x64 CD, no disk drives were found (no SATA drivers - I'm guessing). I put the SATA HDD in a different DELL machine and X64 installed just fine. I then added the x64 HDD to the original PC, added the X64 Edition to the boot.ini file, but when selecting the x64 OS, the XP 32 installs. ...

Hello, I recently had to perform a repair install on WinXP Pro SP2 on a system which is dual boot with Vista Business 32-bit. Since the repair install, the dual boot option menu no longer appears. I assume the repair install overwrote the relevant boot files on the C:\ drive. How can I restore these options? Regards, Rob.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
