XP 1st Vista 2nd

Postby markcynt » Wed Jan 30, 2008 2:21 am

I installed XP Pro then I installed Vista Ultimate. I am already booting into both normally but I was wondering if I could use VBP to just make XP the default OS and to change "Earlier Versions Of Windows" to Windows XP.

Thanks
Mark

P.S.

I found a good workaround to keep Vista restore points from getting deleted by XP. It's a pretty simple registry fix I found on Microsoft's help and support site. I can provide a link if anybody wants me to.

You can change the timeout time to say 5 or 10 secs and yes you can change the default boot name using VBP. Post the fix as I'm sure others would want to know too.:)

I can't add the link because I have not had enough posts to this forum but it can be found Microsoft's Help And Support site. Just Google "No restore points are available." and it should be the first result.

He is correct. It is XP (or other legacy OS's) which delete the restore points.

Yeah, that's kind of reverse of how it was explained to me when I submitted a bug for that issue. Or possibly I just misinterpreted what they said......lol
