I guess it only works properly when a partition on the same drive is not shared between XP and Vista. I also have a second hard drive installed but that can be shared, apparently, without ill effects. Thanks again. Bob |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: System Restore Points - Stop XP Dual Boot Delete Bob, Sorry about the hard drive failure. The real problem comes if you were to try to share data from a 32 bit and 64 bit OS on the same drive. I would try to keep actively used system files off the shared drive to prevent problems though.

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: System Restore Points - Stop XP Dual Boot Delete LOL Matt, That would do it. 32 bit and 64 bit do not play well together anyway. Glad you found a solution that worked for you. Shawn |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: System Restore Points - Stop XP Dual Boot Delete Do you guys think there would ever be a solution to prevent XP from deleting those restore points of Vista, whilst also being able to use all hard drives. I've got most of my data on my C: drive with Vista, and preventing XP from seeing it is sort of annoying since some of the files I need are sorted in My Documents under Vista in C:. I have to say that this tutorial seems to have worked, but it deleted some SP1 system restore points which I would have really liked to keep, considering how unreliable SP1 could get. |
