| Guest | dual boot xp and restore points in vista I've heard if I create a dual boot with XP and Vista that each time I boot up XP it will remove the restore points in Vista. Is this true? if so how can I create a dual boot so this doesn't happen. Thanks, Pete |

| Guest | Re: dual boot xp and restore points in vista Use a 3rd party boot manager program that allows you to hide the operating system you are NOT booted into. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) "Peter" <petercritic@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1188543621.143708.317330@xxxxxx Quote: > I've heard if I create a dual boot with XP and Vista that each time I > boot up XP it will remove the restore points in Vista.

| Guest | Re: dual boot xp and restore points in vista Hi Peter, Very true, but there are a few ways of avoiding it. One is to use a boot manager that allows you to select which volumes are available to each installation and not load the Vista system volume when XP is booted. A second is for users of Bitlocker which (available to only certain versions of Vista) will block XP from altering anything on the Vista system volume. More on this from MVP Bert Kinney here: http://bertk.mvps.org/html/dualboot.html -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Peter" <petercritic@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1188543621.143708.317330@xxxxxx Quote: > I've heard if I create a dual boot with XP and Vista that each time I > boot up XP it will remove the restore points in Vista.
