I assume you mean you installed XP on another partition?

Hi guys,some help needed please.
I bought a new hard drive so I can duel boot my pc, xp and win 7. I also bought 4gig of ram to replace the 2gig I had in there. So before doing anything else I took out the old ram and put in the two sticks of new (in duel ram mode.) Booted the pc up and the post screen shows 4gig of ram in duel mode. Xp only shows 3.50 because it's only 32 bit as expected. I've now put in the new hard drive, formatted it and installed 32 bit win 7, but that only shows 3.50 of ram as well. So am I wrong in thinking that both 32 and 64 bit win 7 should show the full 4gig like Vista.
If win 7 32 bit is not able to show 4gig is it to late to uninstall it and put 64 bit on.
Hello Ash,
Yes, you can format the 32-bit Windows 7 and install the 64-bit Windows 7 if you like, and if your computer has a 64-bit CPU and 64-bit driver versions for all of your devices.
Afterwards, you may need to remove the old 32-bit Windows 7 from the Boot Manager list as at startup though from within the new 64-bit Windows 7 installation.

Hope this helps,

Hi Brink, yes it was a clean install on a new drive.
Hi Zidane24, yes you could be right. but I wouldn't know were to start looking or what I was doing to be honest. I'm just afraid that if I take off 32 bit win 7 and put 64 bit win 7 on, the ram might still only show 3.50 gig.
As for the quality of the ram, it's Corsair XMS2 and it's in a desk top pc.
Thanks anyway guys. I'll give the store were I bought if from a call tomorrow.
Do you by chance have a integrated graphics chip?
If you do, then the missing 512MB may be allocated to it in the BIOS thus only giving you 3.5 GB available.

It may sound silly but what have you got to lose by installing the 64-bit W 7 to see what it'll report, if you don't like the outcome put the 32-bit back on.
