I wouldn't think so if you set up XP on a different drive and tell them both
which drives to create restore points. I have Vista on C: and XP on I: and
they each only create restore points on their own individual drives.

You can install it on either or both. It worked on either one for me as long
as it knew where to find Vista.

It worked great for me, even fixed my pathing for me. I'm going to throw a
third OS at it this weekend (Linux) and see how it handles that. I don't
expect problems. |
