can't boot to 64 bit windows 7 retail disc
I wanted to custom install 64 bit 7 to a new drive on my xp 32 system. The 64 bit disc wouldn't load....got a "can't use this 64 bit disc on 32 bit system". Wasn't able to boot to this disc either (familiar with bios boot priorities). Figured I would install 32 bit to new drive...and it worked fine...took a half hour. But I still can't boot from the 64 bit disc (pre-sale retail disc from Costco) to change the 7 32 bit to 64 bit. The disc won't boot..and if I put the disc in when either 7 or xp is running it says this disc isn't compatible with a 32 bit system. Any idea's?....I so don't want to call India. Thanks in advance.
