Running Windows 7 RC 64-bit as 2nd OS (dual boot). First OS is XP 32-bit. Could it be that the installer checks the wrong partition and finds XP 32-bit instead of Windows 7 RC 64-bit ? exactly the same problem here. Running Windows 7 RC 64-bit as 2nd OS (dual boot).

I'm currently running win7 build 7100 64-bit and trying to update to a release version of Windows Ultimate 64-bit and am able to get past the default message, but in the compatibility report am seeing: "You can’t upgrade 64-bit Windows to a 32-bit version of Windows. To upgrade, obtain a 64-bit version of the installation disc, or go online to see how to install Windows 7 and keep your files and settings. 32-bit Windows cannot be upgraded to a 64-bit version of Windows. To upgrade, obtain a 32-bit version of the Windows installation disc." (yes, both error messages). I am sure I am currently running 64-bit, and I'm pretty sure the install is 64-bit (during install that's what I'm prompted with). I've tried all different things to this point but nothing seems to work, I cannot get this thing to upgrade!! Any ideas? thanks for the tip, I’m a procrastinator doing this the night before, or at least trying to… but even when following these exact steps still am not able to upgrade.
