    Hi there,

    I've been successfully using DVD43 and Click Copy for a while, however I've just recently upgraded my OS to Windows XP 64x Edition and those programs are no longer compatible. Did anyone overcome this issue yet...is there a patch or upgrade???

    Thanks
    Iseybee

    Right on guys. Good to see you out here this evening.

    [bold]Another option might be a dual boot system with a 32 bit OS on another partition. Depends on the space.[/bold]

    david66 hit on a good point, problems with 32 bit apps, very little has been written for 64 bit so far. As for myself, I'm not going to 64 bit till there is some decent programming written for it.

    great idea ,brobear that would work. i think the best option doing that is running two harddrives with the 64bit on one harddrive and the 32bit on the second harddrive

    That works good when a person has multiple drives. I've noticed it works well on a single hard drive if there's enough space on the partitions. Those big 200-300GB drives are easy to set up. (Smaller ones work, but it limits the space for each OS.) Just use Partition Magic or whatever; save all the data to the one partition, format and install the new OS to the newly created partition.

    With the low cost of hard drives nowadays, it wouldn't cost much to add a drive for another operating system. It could even be done with an external drive if necessary, though those are a bit more expensive.

    I have 2 large HDDs with 4 partitions, so it is easy for me to do. I actually had to do it once because an OS got corrupted. The only way I could save a lot of files was to put a good working OS on another partition. Once I got everything backed up, I removed the faulty OS from the main boot partition and installed a clean version.
