System restore points deleted on Win 7 in dual boot with XP
Because of the differences in the system restore technologies between windows 7 and windows XP, when booting out of XP and into Win 7 Pro the Win 7 restore points will have been deleted. My scenareo is XP - original system on first physical disk (boot loaders are here) and Win 7 on third physical disk, with second physical disk just for data.
There are various tutorials about doing the registry fix in XP as in KB926185, by using the registry hack HKLM\System\MountedDevices\Offline and setting the other system DWord to 1. However, I have done this and it doesn't fix the problem, as I keep up to date images, its not mission critical but it would be great if I could finally resolve it. Has anyone else had the problem with this registry fix not working (I cannot use bitlocker because I don't have Ultimate). Mike
