(1) Regarding
> do you have all the 64bit drivers for the hardware?
YES.
Regarding the rest, I question what you say. THE ENTIRE POINT OF MY POST IS THAT THERE MAY BE A SET OF CHOICES AT THE KEY SCREEN AT www.petri.co.il/images/ins
that WILL allow one to keep the user files (and all the original partition with a new Windows 64 bit folder and a Windows.old folder with the 32 bit stuff.) That is what Ian D's forum post implies BUT HE DOES NOT SPELL OUT HOW .
(2) Also see www.blackviper.com/Article

THIS STEP WAS OMITTED (BUT IN FACT WILL ALWAYS APPEAR) IN THE INSTRUCTIONS AT PETRI'S
www.petri.co.il/install_wi
In fact it appears that to get all the Delete, Format, Extend choices one must AT THIS STEP CLICK "Drive Options (Advanced)". If one clicks Next they do not appear which was confusing in Petri's instructions,.
Also Black Viper answers one of my questions (3)(a) that LOAD DRIVERS IS for RAID/APCI HD drivers only (not the normal case for most PCs). All my other Question still remain.

64 bit is a different kettle of fish than re-installing xp ontop of xp
I have installed 64 bit vista and it insisted on reformatting the drive -
safest choice is to backup all the data then try - it it reformats then you still have your data.
do you havee all the 64bit drivers for the hardware?
the machine I did I had to download 64 bit versions of the TV card and the graphics card and the motherboard bits
