32bit & 64bit XP In 1 Disk

Maybe someone can help me with this. Is there any way to merge a 64bit XP OS disk with a 32bit XP OS disk so that way, one disk will contain two different versions of the same OS and when you boot from the disk, you'll have a choice to either run the 64bit version or 32bit version of the installer. I've seen this with the Vista OS.

If this is possible, it'll be pretty helpful at work.

Sort of....You could put the contents of each CD in a folder on a DVD. You wouldn't be able to boot from it, though (so I'm not sure how useful that would really be)

Vista is a different animal. XP wasn't designed with 32-bit and 64-bit editions in mind, so that's why there are no retail CDs configured like that.
