Install XP 64-bit on Windows 2003 Server


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, guys,

Here I have a Windows 2003 32-bit server, running stable. The machine

CPU is Itanium Processor.

Now I also need to install Windows XP 64-bit on this machine also.

I want to make the machine into Multi-OS host.

I put the XP Install CD in the CD-Rom, then It tell me to create a

partition, then I did and type next, then error of blue screen

occurred.

 

It's a question I never met before. Could you give me some hints about

how can I install XP on this host?

 

Ed

Windows XP 64-bit is for x64 processors, not Itanium.

And Itanium is the brand name for 64-bit Intel microprocessors. So why

it isn't suitable for XP 64-bit?

No, Itanium is not the brand name of Intel microprocessors, it is the brand

name of one of the two 64-bit processor platforms Intel produces

 

Intel IA64 is another platform than Intel x64 (or EM64T)

The IA64 (Itanium) architechture, while it is 64-bit, is not the same as

the x64 platform. There are two 64-bit versions of XP, it seems:

 

Windows XP 64-bit Edition - For Itanium platforms

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition - For x86-64 platforms.

 

Looking at this Wikipedia article, the Itanium version doesn't sound

great to me:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_64-bit_Edition

 

No security updates for a start... If I were you I'd consider running

Server 2003 IA64 instead, but Microsoft also haven't released at R2

version of that.

 

It seems to me that support for the Itanium isn't great, but at least

there's an IA64 version of Windows Server 2008 RC0 so hopefully the

future isn't too bleak for the platform.

Thank you!

Please accept my apologize for the mistake. I recheck the CPU by the

tool, it's Xeon CPU.

Instruction includes MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, EM64T.

 

So, can I install "Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" in it, and do

not impact the Windows Server 2003?
