Rick,
That does not stop XP's volsnap.sys from deleting
Vista's restore points. It's not really about System Restore.
System Restore makes use of volsnap.sys. But XP's
System Restore isn't the culprit. Volsnap.sys is where
the incompatibility is.
The user needs a third party boot manager that hides
Vista's partition. Or, if he's using Ultimate, BitLocker
will protect Vista's partition.
This has all been discussed to death in this newsgroup.
Do a search of "volsnap.sys".
