Now that, thanks to EasyBCD and the excellent support I received in this forum some weeks ago, I have a perfectly functioning Vista of 32-bit/XP dual-boot working, I see another classic Microsoft “gotcha” looming on the horizon.
It appears from what I have been reading that HD and Blue-Ray PC equipment will only be able to work with Vista 64. Although I have legitimate copies of both Vista 32 and Vista 64, I did my dual-boot configuration with Vista 32. I did so mainly because of the lack of peripheral drivers for Vista 64. This new turn of events, however, seems to argue for needing to be able to boot to Vista 32, Vista 64, and XP on my high-end machine. This potential need brings me to my question of the day.
Is there any light at the end of the tunnel in terms of being able to set up a Vista 32-Vista 64-XP triple-boot configuration and, if so, what would such a configuration entail and look like? Obviously I'm posting here because I would like to continue to use EasyBCD to avoid "clobbering" Vista restore points.
