7 64-bit on second hard drive
I currently have two hard drives in my machine, a 160GB drive with Vista 32-bit Home Premium and a 320GB drive with 7 RC 64-bit. I am waiting for my 7 upgrade disc to arrive, but would like some clarification. I intend to install the 64-bit version of 7 on my 320GB drive, replacing the RC version. As far as I can understand, I need to be booted into my Vista installation to allow me to install 7, and, using a custom installation, I can install it on my 320GB drive rather then the Vista drive. My query is whether my 32-bit Vista will allow me to install the 64-bit 7, or will it only let me install the 32-bit?
I also believe that this installation will give me a dual-boot system. If I then get rid of my Vista installation will this muck up the dual boot?
