Hi,
I have a pc with 2 disks. One disk has XP 32 bit installed, the other one (installed seperately, so without the other being connected at the time of installing) with W7 64-bit. How can I let the user choose which disk to boot from?

But the systems are already installed. In option 2 they talk about installing xp.
With all Due respect to Michell65's excellent advice...
Perhaps, as another alternative, you could simply press the F-key on your computer that lets you pop up a boot menu and you can select from that which disk you want to boot from.
I guess you set up the one you mostly want to boot from as you main boot disk (in BIOS).
On My PC (ASRock Extreme 6), F11 loads the boot menu. On other brands it might be a different F-Key.
This requires no dual booting set up like Grub or others, and might suit as a workaround for you..
Just my 2 cents worth. It's not the most elegant...
That would be the last option, if I wouldn't find another way. Thanks.
If they are 2 seperate installations you switch by temporarily changing the boot order in the BIOS. And that is the ONLY way it can be done.

That was my point, precisely.
