| System Restore and Dual Boot I know that Vista SR points are deleted when you switch back to XP. Is there a workaround? I read that you can use Bit-Locker in Vista Ultimate to correct this but what are the steps? |

| Re: System Restore and Dual Boot Hi, Bitlocker simply needs to be enabled on that Vista volume. Make sure you understand what it is before you enable it: [url]http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/bitlocker.aspx[/url] Other solutions include using a third party boot manager to hide the Vista installation from XP, -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP [url]http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/[/url] Windows help - [url]www.rickrogers.org[/url] "Robert" <instructor********.com> wrote in message news:230418BA-1844-41F8-8D43-215EE181CD47@microsoft.com...[color=blue] >I know that Vista SR points are deleted when you switch back to XP.

| Re: System Restore and Dual Boot Thanks for the info Rick, I researched Bitlocker and I believe it is a little to risky for my configuration. I have Vista Ultimate on one HD and XP on another HD. When I went to enable bitlocker, the message said I could not use bitlocker on the volume indicated which was the XP HD! Further research stated that I needed two partitions on the Vista drive which I do not have at present. Rather than risk damaging my Vista info I decided I can live with SR deletions when I boot XP. I will look into third party software though. Thanks again.
