You're right!
And i suppose these files are the backup ones, the restore points, and
the shadow copies.

But let's suppose i have (from XP and Vista) this drive structure:
C: <-- WinXP
D: <-- WinVista
E: <-- Programs

In the E: drive i wanna install all the programs, grouped in two folders
(one containing programs for Vista, the other one containing programs
for XP).

Now suppose that E: is not monitored by System Restore, neither from XP
nor from Vista.
Must i hide this partition to XP? How can i know if Vista's volsnap writes
something to this drive? Better to hide it?

But what drives use Vista restore points? Please understand that SR cannot recover lost data files, just system files and those are on the Vista system volume, not the other drives.

Well, i'll make a test as soon as i can.
If Vista cannot recover lost data files, what about Shadow Copies, that can
restore accidentally deleted files? (And any kind of files, not only system
files...).

Thanks for your patience!
Bye!
