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.
