Can't install xp64 on Acer Aspire M7720

[shezzuk1]

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
