| | Installing Windows 7 over XP - System Restore Over here: KVR: Win7 system restore disaster (& dongle issue...) [slashdotted!] the poster reported: Quote: The first problem is to do with system restore. Basically Win 7 makes restore points but automatically deletes all of them when the PC is rebooted. This deletion happens during the 'Starting Windows' screen and means that booting after a restore point has been created takes a long time (several minutes). Quote: If you install Windows 7 over an installation of XP that stored user data in a different partition to the system drive (e.g. by installing XP from a slipstream CD), system restore in Windows 7 won't work. It will delete restore points without warning upon boot. In other words, this produces the same effect on system restore as dual booting between Windows 7 and XP. |

| | I have seen no evidence to support either of these contentions. In fact, Sys Restore in Dual Boot with XP is fixed as far as I know. I just checked it on a computer here and both XP and Windows 7 have their Sys Restore on. Just check for sure. How would installing XP from a slipstreamed CD cause User data to be stored in a different partition than the system drive, thereby causing System Restore to not work? Huh? |

| | As you can not do a inplace upgrade from Win XP to Windows 7, clean install only, all Win XP data is deleted. |
