Re: System Restore and Dual Boot

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

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.

Hi,

Bitlocker simply needs to be enabled on that Vista volume. Make sure you understand what it is before you enable it: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/bitlocker.aspx

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

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?
