Re: "As long as XP can see the Vista volume you will lose the Vista
restore points"
Let me ask a different question:
Let's say that you have dual boot, XP on C: and Vista on D:, and both
OS' see all drives (and, for that matter, data drives on E: thru I
.
Lets say that in XP, before installing Vista on D: (but after the D:
partition exists), you go into Control Panel (in XP), system, and select
the system restore tab, and disable monitoring of drive D: by XP's
system restore. You click the box that says "Turn off system restore on
this drive".
You then install Vista on D:
Will subsequent use of XP still cause loss of Vista restore points, with
XP's own system restore on D: disabled?
