Install Vista 64-bit from XP 32-bit?

[thenewa2x]

Is there any way to install Vista 64-bit from running XP 32-bit. I don't want to upgrade my OS, I just want to install into a seperate partition. Unfortunately I cannot execute 64-bit code in XP 32-bit, and I don't know how to create bootable virtual DVD drive (if it is even possible).

Boot from your Vista disk. Run the install on the new partition you have created through PartitionMagic or Windows Disk Management tools.

Hope this Helps.
