Dual Boot with two SATA HDD

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. Can the MBR be
corrected to allow the boot to the x64 HDD? Is there a different way to make
this dual boot work?

Hi,

It is a pity that the Microsoft Communitie pages is leading people to the
wrong newsgroups.

This is a software newsgroup. You are better of to look in a XP newsgroup.
