Dual boot Vista/XP -restore points vanish!

[The Living Legend]

Apparently if you set up a dual boot system with Vista and XP or 2003 server, when you boot to the older operating system all Vista's restore points and any Backups disappear. This is a serious issue!


Anyone know a way around this problem:

Hi Legend, haven't seen you around for a while!

This is actually quite a known issue, and we've developed an EasyBCD-based workaround for this that involves hiding the Vista drive from Windows XP when you boot into it.
