Workaround 2
Another option, which is simpler if you don't want to go down the Bitlocker
Encryption route is to boot into Windows XP and, using a freeware utility
called TweakUi hide the Windows Vista partition from Windows XP. Because XP
cannot see the Windows Vista partition it cannot remove the system restore
points.
The end result of both these workarounds is that you can move from Windows
Vista to Windows XP and back again without losing the precious System
restore points.
