Quote - Ah ... here's a question right off the bat ... LOL

I set up the boot camp partition, which appears to be 32 bit because when I reboot with the 64 bit DVD it doesn't recognize that it's there. So I think the missing piece of my puzzle is, how do I get a 64 bit boot camp partition?

I don't use Boot Camp on a single drive, so can't test this for sure. But, what I would try is to use your 32 bit disc to get things started and activated. Once everything is setup with your Windows 7 32 bit OS and you have confirmed the serial number and Windows has been activated, insert your 64 bit disc for Windows 7 and choose the "custom install" option and do a CLEAN install over the 32 bit one. That should work OK because it will see that you already have the 32 bit Windows 7 installed and activated but want to install with the 64 bit version.

This second install going from 32 to 64 bit should be done from your Windows 7 OS, do NOT Boot Camp it again. Just insert your 64 bit Windows 7 disc from inside the 32 bit Windows 7 OS. Keep in mind, I am assuming you are talking about doing this all with the same version of Windows 7. You still have not said which version you are using or wanting to install.

That should work though, but I have not tested it that way. Let me know what exact steps you took and if it works or not.

Good luck with the install
