| Can't install xp64 on Acer Aspire M7720
Hi, this is my first post so please be gentle with me. I have bought a new pc, the Acer Aspire M7720, which comes with Vista 64 Home Premium pre-installed. My problem is I want to install XP 64 bit as a dual boot, but when I try to install xp I get a blue screen just after the preliminary files have been loaded, ie just before I have to choose a drive to install it on. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time for reading this. ps it is sp2 version of xp 64. |

If you wanna make a dual boot with vista and xp on your pc you MUST install XP x64 first. After that install Vista x64 preferably on a different HD, otherwise another partition. With WIN7 it automaticly makes a dual boot for you, not sure if in this case it does but i am sure you must always install the older Windows version first. Otherwise there are some programs that'll help you to make a dual boot... i think Vistaboot pro is one that might work... btw... it's updated to dualboot pro Last edited by lokey440 : 20-04-2010 at 08:19 AM. |
