Solved: Dual Boot Win7 32,64 bit help
I'm planning on dual booting windows 7 32x and 64x bit on one hardrive.
I've made 3 partitions, two 35gb, one 250gb.
Is there anyway to make the 2 35gb partitions only for the OS and make all installed software go onto the 250gb partition or will i simply need to delete the 250gb partition and share it between the 2 OS partitions.
Any help and advise will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

You will need to install the programs for BOTH of the OS that you wish to use them in. Some of these programs may even require a second license to be able to activate them the second time.

So, I think you will need 2 partitions that are at least 50 gigs if not larger and then the rest for DATA.

You also need two Windows 7 licenses. Although retail upgrade disks come with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, only one can be activated.
