I installed 64bit Windows 7 on the second hard drive of my XP machine so it
is dual boot. However my graphics card does not work (Radeon 9800pro - it
is supposed to work but does not - code 43 error says hardware reported a
fault so windows stopped this device).

I want to install Windows 7 32bit instead. Can I just do that over the top
of the 64bit version or do I need to uninstal first?

If I need to uninstal how do I do it? When I put the disk in I just get
options to install again or repair.

To uninstall the current installation of Win 7 x64, you boot in to XP
and delete the partition with it. Or, you can boot with the 32-bit
install disc and tell the 32-bit Win 7 to delete the current
installation of 64-bit Win 7. You cannot install 32-bit over it.

If your video card gives you an erro in 64-bit Windows 7, there's a high
probability it will give you the same error in 32-bit Win 7.

See

The Radeon 9800 is no longer supported. If you are lucky, it will work
but there is no guarantee.

You're using a dual core processor on a nForce3 aren't you?
