Dual booting with XP and Vista can mean the loss of VSS files like System Restore points in Vista. The problem is the XP volsnap.sys and MS has decided not to update XP (extensive rewrite to XP) to prevent this. Third party boot managers can hide partitions. Can VBP be programmed to offer hiding of partitions so that the XP volsnap.sys cannot impact the Vista SR points and previous versions, etc.?

Thats an excellent suggestion, thank you Cbarnhorst. It could also solve other user issues in addition to the solution you indicate.

We are working on a new version with greater functionality and no doubt the programmers will take your idea into account smilenod

thumbsup Yeah, this would be teriffic!
Please, please add this functionality to VistaBootPro!
I have 3 devices that will not work, and probably never will with Vista, so I must keep XP. If Vista System Restore points are deleted, dual booting
will be a disaster.

Great idea. Would help those needing to dual boot XP and Vista until apps and drivers catch up.
