Setting up Vista Ultimate 64 bit do dual boot with XP Pro 32 bit

Hey gang,

I have just received Vista Ultimate, along with a new hard drive to put it
on, to dual boot with my current XP Pro 32 bit. I did a google search to try
and do some reading on this.

I have read , of an issue with restore points being deleted with this
configuration, but believe there is a way to edit the boot file to keep this
from happening?

I have also read there is a program, Vista BootPro, that would be good to
use for this, rather than the built in Vista boot manager?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

If by third party boot manager which totally hides the Vista system, you can
protect the restore points, otherwise no. VistaBootPro works with the Vista
Boot Manager, does not have its own.

Re: Setting up Vista Ultimate 64 bit do dual boot with XP Pro 32 bit

Thanks John,

Which restore points get deleted, Vista's, XP's, or both?

If just Vista, then I could live with that for now. I would rather my XP
restore points stay intact.

You're in luck then, it is only the Vista restore points which are deleted

Re: Setting up Vista Ultimate 64 bit do dual boot with XP Pro 32 bit

XP's VSS driver deletes files on the Vista volume but not the other way
around. More than restore points are affected. Any files dependent on
snapshots taken by VSS's driver (volsnap.sys) are deleted, including
backups, previous versions (shadow copies), etc. Here is the MS kb for
preventing this effect. Back up your files (both volumes) before
proceeding.

Re: Setting up Vista Ultimate 64 bit do dual boot with XP Pro 32 bit

btw, the instructions apply to both XP Pro x64 as well as all XP x86. I
have a multiboot setup with Vista x86 and x64, and XP x86 and x64. Believe
me you want to name each of your partitions with names that tell you what
they are before you start.

Thanks Colin, thankfully I had the foresight to do that already, and I see
