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:

Other solutions include using a third party boot manager to hide the Vista
installation from 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.
