Win 7 Dual boot

6 New Member
Can I make my system to have a dual boot both in win7 but one in 64 bit and the other 32 bit?
I think it is possible in XP to have dual boot or n-boot
is that possible in windows 7?

Yes, you should be able to just boot to the CD and run the install. I am not sure if you can still run them on the same partition but I would REALLY recommend against doing that if you are able to.

So you would need to have either multiple partitions on a single hard drive or multiple hard drives.

When you boot to the CD you will be asked where to put it (you may need to choose an Advanced Setup). Just select a different partition or drive from the one you are already using. You can even format and size it from there.
