    System Image Backup selects ALL volumes

    Hi,

    I've a system with 2 disks. Disk 0 contains WinXP; Disk 1 contains Vista.
    (BTW both call there own disk C and the other D, but that's not important
    here.
    When I want to make a system image backup of the Vista partition, both
    volumes are selected. I cannot deselected the XP partition. So when I proceed
    both Vista and XP will be included in the backup.
    I presume this means, that if I want to restore this backup, the XP
    installation will be restored too ?
    Is there a way to prevent the non-vista volumes for being backupped ?

    Complete PC will make you back up both the system and boot volumes,
    regardless if XP is on one of them. You couldn't restore the system to a
    workable state without both of those volumes.
