Hi i have trouble installing dual OS for my ferrari 4005,
i already format all the HP, and deleted the hidden Erecovery partition (i dont think that's very usefull right ? ) as i can back up with normal norton ghost.
anyway now the partition is C:20G, E:20G, F:55G.
I intend to put windowXP Pro 32 bit on the C, windows XP Pro X64 on the E, and data on the F.
i already restore using the acer recoveryCD and that's install the X64 that come with it originally to drive C, i think it's ok now i just need to install the XP 32 bit on the E instead, but when i put my windows CD it won't install, the option to install isgreyed out,
please somebody tell me how to do that >?
cause my ferrari didn't come with X64 CD , itt only came with recovery and driver CD

do not start the setup from running x64 ... boot from the x32 cd and install from there ...

so in order to install the x64 i must have the x64 CD in hand right ??
that's the problem , acer didnt give me the x64 cd, they only gave me the recovery cd
can i set up somehpw that the recovery will go to D: instead of C; which already has X32running in it ???

no, it's not possible to recover to another partition than C: ... why didn't you install x64 as first OS and then additional x32 to another partition?

but wait, it should be possible to recover to another partitíon, if you hide the existing C: ... but i don't know which influence this will have ...

you can't use the pirated version with this key, cause you'll need the proper cd-version ...

the full retail-version only works with full-retail-keys ...
the oem-version only works with oem-keys ...
the corporate edition works only with corporate keys ...

so you'll need an oem-cd to work with your oem-key ...

btw: did you really buy a pirated cd?
