    Dual Boot Vista and System restore.

    Hi, does anyone dual boot Vista and XP and if so have you noticed after booting to XP the Vista restore points are missing?

    That point has surfaced numerous times as a given.

    SuperSparks, I believe it was, posted a link about it.

    Hi jenae, could you pm me or email me and tell me how you set your system up to dual boot. I have XP Pro installed now and would lke to install Vista. I have printed some info on how its suppose to be done but somewhere I missed a step and it did not work. I ended up reformating and starting again. I got the partition set up ok but i think the boot loader is what i missed and it messed everything up. Sorry to butt in on your thread for something I should be able to do my self. Do you have any other issues with dual booting that I should know about? I am going to have to start from scratch as I did not partition (deleted it) the drive when i reinstalled XP. I just wanted to get new build up and running stable and now it is. Thanks!!!

    If your motherboard supports it, the best way to dual boot is to install XP and Vista on separate hard drives and use the BIOS to select the boot hard drive. The restore points can be preserved that way.
